Maccabi Tel Aviv, according to league sources, has been engaged in contract negotiations with Malcolm Thomas.

Thomas appeared in five games this summer for the Bulls in the NBA summer league, averaging 11.4 points and 12.4 rebounds.

The 6-foot-7 forward spent part of last season with Ulsan Mobis Phoebus of the South Korean pro league.

Maccabi Tel Aviv released Pops Mensah-Bonsu after medical tests showed Mensah-Bonsu still hadn’t recovered from a knee injury suffered this summer with the British National Team.

Mensah-Bonsu averaged 11.5 points and 7.3 rebounds for Great Britain during the Olympic Games in London.
