Scheyer, Maccabi Tel Aviv Agree To Part Ways

Jon Scheyer asked for and was granted released from Maccabi Tel Aviv, the team announced Monday.

Scheyer’s request was reportedly tied to a lack of playing time.

“Jon's request to leave was a mixture of many things,” one source said. “Nearly three months ago, while sitting out most of the team's games, Asefa Estudiantes of the Spanish ACB League, asked to buy Jon out, but Maccabi refused. Not only was Jon disappointed, he was also upset.

'At first, his (Jon) expectations of himself were to fit into Blatt's system and excel as the starting point guard, with Yogev Ohayon coming off the bench. However, the wind quickly changed directions and Jon found himself playing spotty garbage time minutes if any at all,' added the source.

Scheyer appeared in 46 games for Maccabi this season.
