Overview
- Hapoel Jerusalem announced Friday that it has signed NBA free agent forward David Roddy to a one-year contract.
- Israeli outlet Sport5 reported the deal could be a one-plus-one with a first-year value near $1.5 million, though the club’s release lists a single season.
- Roddy was the 23rd overall pick in the 2022 draft and logged more than 170 NBA appearances before spending most of 2025–26 in the G League, where he averaged 13.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
- Roddy has no two-way eligibility remaining, which limited low-cost NBA options and helped push him to accept an overseas offer that provides guaranteed money and a clearer playing role.
- Hapoel Jerusalem plans to use Roddy in Israel’s top league and the EuroCup as it assembles a roster of former NBA players, a move that should give Roddy steady minutes and bolster the club’s wing scoring next season.
