Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv announced on Tuesday that it has signed Canadian forward and former NBA champion Oshae Brissett to a two-year deal.
Brissett (2.01 meters, 27 years old) has played in the NBA for all six seasons of his professional career. After playing college basketball at Syracuse, he joined the Toronto Raptors in 2019 and also played for their G-League affiliate, Raptors 905. He spent the next three seasons with the Indiana Pacers, where he became a rotation mainstay in his last two years.
In the summer of 2023, Brissett signed with the Boston Celtics and thanks to his energy and defensive effort, became a critical reserve. He helped the Celtics win the NBA championship that season, appearing in 10 playoffs games – including three in the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks. Last season Brissett split time between the Long Island Nets in the G league and the Philadelphia 76ers. Maccabi will be his first team outside of North America.
