The Israeli club is now on the lookout for a versatile big man who can effectively play both the power forward and center positions, per the same report.

Poythress, 29, still has one year remaining on his current contract, having joined Maccabi on a two-year deal last offseason

He underwent surgery for a torn wrist ligament in early December and missed 23 EuroLeague regular-season games. Prior to the surgery, Poythress played through an injury for more than a month.

Poythress returned to the EuroLeague action in the playoff series against AS Monaco.

Throughout the 2022-23 EuroLeague season, he averaged 7.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 7.4 PIR across 16 games.

Maccabi's journey in the EuroLeague ended in the quarterfinals with a 2-3 series loss.

However, their pursuit of success continues in the Israeli League. Oded Kattash's team has advanced to the finals and is scheduled to face Hapoel Tel Aviv in a best-of-three series. Game 1 is set to take place on Thursday at the Menora Mivtachim Arena.
