Hapoel Galil Elyon signed Di tonight (Wednesday). Jay. Kennedy until the end of the season. The forward, who opened the season at Ukrainian Promitei and left it in light of the Russian invasion and war in the country, chose the newcomer after also having parallel contacts with Nes Ziona and Hapoel Eilat. This is Kennedy’s second term in Israel, having played for Hapoel Holon in the previous decade.
Kennedy, 33, started playing Barry Behawks of the G-League in the 2011/12 season after failing to be drafted in 2011. The following season he managed to secure a contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but returned to the G-League very quickly. In the 2013/14 season, he signed with Hapoel Holon and played in the media for one season, and since then he has changed teams every season, passing no less than 12 teams.
He started the current season with Nano Ginzburg’s team, which did quite well in the FIBA Champions League and overtook Hapoel Jerusalem in the playoff series, but stopped its activities after the owners of the team chose to donate their money to the war effort.
