LSU has reportedly agreed to a $5 million deal with Israeli forward Yam Madar, who is a member of the Hapoel Tel Aviv program in Israel. Madar, who’s set to turn 26 in December, was drafted with the 47th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics, but never signed with the team. The 6-foot-3 guard from Israel has been playing professional basketball since 2018 and was named the 2023 EuroLeague Rising Star.
