Jacob Toppin and Keaton Wallace Secure Deals in Israel

Jacob Toppin and Keaton Wallace, both former players with the Atlanta Hawks, have made moves to continue their basketball careers in Israel. Toppin, who previously played on a two-way contract, has signed with Hapoel Tel Aviv following a disappointing summer league performance. This marks his return to competitive play after a labrum injury sidelined him during the 2025-26 season.

Hapoel Tel Aviv competes in the Israeli Basketball Premier League, where Toppin will look to regain his form and contribute to the team's success. Meanwhile, Keaton Wallace has also secured a deal, joining Maccabi Tel Aviv. Wallace transitioned from a two-way contract with the Hawks to a full contract ahead of the last season, appearing in 53 games and logging 536 minutes on the court.

Both players will be looking to make an impact in the competitive landscape of Israeli basketball, as they seek to revitalize their careers after their time in the NBA.
