Rokas Jokubaitis is on the verge of signing a two-year contract with FC Bayern Basketball, Buzz Sport sources confirm, following initial reports by Robert Heusel on X. The Lithuanian guard’s move comes after triggering his war clause to leave Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Contract Context and Maccabi Offer
Despite a contract with Maccabi until 2027, Jokubaitis opts out due to the ongoing war situation in Israel, rejecting a €1 million per season improved offer. His decision reflects personal safety concerns over financial incentives.
Bayern’s Swift Roster Overhaul
Bayern, reacting to Nick Weiler-Babb’s departure to Anadolu Efes, secured Wenyen Gabriel from Panathinaikos as Devin Booker’s replacement for Milan. Jokubaitis, a 1.93 m playmaker, bolsters Bayern’s backcourt, aligning with their EuroLeague ambitions.
