PJ Dozier is in advanced talks with Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv, as reported by Eurohoops Aris Barkas on Sunday.
Following Anadolu Efes teammates, Elijah Bryant and Daniel Oturu, who are already linked with the Israeli club, the 28-year-old swingman may end up at the same destination for the next edition of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.
However Efes wants to keep the player and will also make their move.
Dozier boasts 51 appearances in Europe’s premier club continental competition, including 18 in the 2024-25 campaign. He averaged 8.3 points, 2.9 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 0.7 steals, and 0.3 blocks per contest with the team based in Istanbul.
One more player from Efes may end up in Hapoel Tel Aviv. Per Eurohoops sources, PJ Dozier is also in advanced talks with the Israeli club.
