Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv bolstered its backcourt by securing the services of combo  guard Daryl Macon Jr., who signed a 1+1 deal. An explosive scorer (1.88 M, 6 ft 2 in), Macon previously played in the EuroLeague with Panathinaikos and is coming off a season in China.

Macon will add a lot of firepower to the yellow offense, being able to shoot at an impressive clip from all ranges. He is also a great playmaker and facilitator that can bring the ball up the court and run plays at a high level.




"I am super excited to finally get a chance to play in front of the Maccabi fans", said Daryl Macon Jr. "I've heard so much about it. I've heard nothing but great things about the amazing organization. I am thankful for the chance to return to the main stage in the EuroLeague. Let's have a great season!"

"We are really glad that Daryl Macon is on our side", confirmed head coach Oded Kattash, adding: "He is a special player who possesses great capabilities and can play both guard positions, which gives us more depth and quality".

Maccabi's sporting director, Avi Even, added: "I am very happy that a guy like Daryl joins the squad. He is a talented and high-level player who plays with passion and brings versatile offensive capabilities. Daryl will fit in with our style of play and the team's character".




Daryl Macon Jr. is a native of Little Rock, Arkansas, where he was born on November 29th, 1995, the son of Deloise and Daryl Sr. He began his collegiate career in Holmes Community College in neighboring Mississippi but made the transfer to Arkansas after his sophomore year. With the Razorbacks, Daryl elevated his game and was named to the Second Team All-SEC as a senior.

Macon went undrafted in 2018, but landed a two-way contract with the Dallas Mavericks, mainly playing for their G-League affiliate. He did register 8 games with the Mavs and three more with the Miami Heat, but in 2020 made the jump to Europe and signed with Galatasaray. After posting almost 20 points per game in the FIBA Basketball Champions League, he moved mid-season to AEK Athens. He kept impressing in the Greek capital, scoring 16.9 PPG, dishing over 3 APG and hitting 44.4% from 3-point range in the local league.

In 2021, Macon moved to Panathinaikos and delivered 13.1 PPG and 3.6 APG with the greens in the EuroLeague. After a season, he signed for UNICS Kazan, leading the team to a VTB championship and earning a spot on the First Team All-VTB team. Last season, he played for Shenzhen Aviators in China, with averages of 18.9 PPG, 6.1 APG and 3.5 RPG to his name, shooting 42.5% from outside the arc.
