This marks what has been a very busy Wednesday evening for the Israeli club after also reaching deals with two other former NBA players: Thon Maker and Sean Kilpatrick.

The Canadian forward returns to Europe after his 2017 experience with Fenerbahce, which lasted only four months but gave him the opportunity to win the EuroLeague title with the Turkish club.

Bennett, a member of the Canadian NT, recently played in Puerto Rico. His last NBA experience was with the Brooklyn Nets during the 2016-2017 season where he averaged 5 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.
