Fenerbahce has managed to make Yam Madar's transfer without having to pay a buyout fee, as several EuroLeague teams approached him as a free agent.

The Turkish club officially announced Madar's transfer and signed him to a 2+1 deal.

In the 2022-23 season, Madar made history by becoming the first Israeli to win the EuroLeague Rising Star award. This recognition, voted on by EuroLeague head coaches, has only been achieved by three other players in their rookie season.

Madar averaged 5.8 points (52.8% 2P, 33.8% 3P), 1.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 13 minutes per game.

Madar stood out among all eligible Rising Star players, leading in total and average points and steals (23).

The guard reached double figures in points on ten occasions during the regular season. Notably, he had a season-high 15 points twice in games vs. AS Monaco and Fenerbahce.

In Game 3 of the playoff series against Real Madrid, Madar scored 12 points and had a season-high six rebounds.

Madar, selected with the 47th pick in the 2020 NBA draft by the Boston Celtics, has played in Partizan since 2021.
