Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv’s new Australian guard-forward, Joe Ingles, arrived in Israel Tuesday and was welcomed by dozens of enthusiastic fans at Ben Gurion Airport. “I’m very excited to be here, I wanted to come to Tel Aviv earlier, but I had a few things to settle with the Australian National Team. I’m happy to be in Maccabi. I don’t know everyone on the team yet, but I played against Maccabi a few times and beat them every time. From what I understand, the city and the fans are wonderful. I heard a lot of good things from Richard Hendrix.”
“I’ve talked to David Blatt a few times, including at the Olympics. He told me about the team and the role he wants me to play. We have a great roster, I really like the team we’ve got. We’ve got depth at every position, and we’ve got a great coach and a wonderful team manager. I just want to get out on the court.”
