Vasilije Micic has signed a three-year, €14 million contract with Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv, making him the highest-paid player in the EuroLeague, as reported by Eurohoops . The deal, confirmed by the club, follows a buyout with the Milwaukee Bucks, ending his NBA stint.
Stellar EuroLeague Legacy and NBA Journey
The 31-year-old Serbian point guard, a two-time EuroLeague champion and MVP (2021, 2022) with Anadolu Efes, averaged 6.8 points and 3.9 assists in 101 NBA games across Charlotte, OKC, and Phoenix. His 229 EuroLeague games underscore his elite pedigree.
Hapoel’s Ambitious Boost Under Itoudis
Coached by Dimitris Itoudis, Hapoel leverages Micic’s experience and the €14M investment—surpassing Panathinaikos’ Kendrick Nunn—to elevate their roster. Their 2024-25 BKT EuroCup title secures their EuroLeague return, with Micic as the centerpiece.
