Bnei Herzliya has signed veteran guard Toney Douglas to strengthen its roster for the Basketball Champions League. The move comes as the team addresses an injury to their 24-year-old guard, Denver Jones. At 39, Douglas brings valuable leadership and skill to help guide the team through this period.
🤝 A Veteran Steps In
To fill the gap left by Denver Jones, who is sidelined with an ankle injury, Bnei Herzliya acted quickly to bring in a replacement. The club signed Toney Douglas to a short-term contract that runs until the end of December. The agreement also includes an option to extend his stay until the end of the 2025-26 season, giving both the team and the player flexibility for the future.
🏀 A Wealth of Experience
Douglas is a well-known player with an impressive background. He has extensive experience from his time in the NBA, where he played in 409 games, including the playoffs. After his NBA career, he continued to play at a high level in Europe, competing in the Basketball Champions League with teams like SL Benfica and in the FIBA Europe Cup with Porto. His familiarity with top-tier European basketball makes him a great fit for the team.
🎯 Team’s Next Steps
Coached by Yehu Orland, Bnei Herzliya is looking to bounce back after a tough loss in their opening game of the season against Tofas. The addition of Douglas to a roster that includes key players like Shawn Dawson and Chinanu Onuaku is expected to provide a significant boost. The team’s next challenge will be an away game against La Laguna Tenerife, where they hope to secure their first win.
