With 24-year-old Jones sidelined indefinitely due to an ankle injury, the Israeli club followed up on a recent reunion with Shawn Dawson by securing the services of 39-year-old Douglas, a veteran of 409 NBA games, including 15 in the Playoffs.
After moving on from the league based in North America, the most recent stages of his career included the Basketball Champions League. Specifically, Douglas has made his way to 22 games in FIBA Europe’s top-tier club continental competition with SL Benfica and Sakarya BSB. He has also displayed his talents in the FIBA Europe Cup with Sakarya, Iraklis, and, most recently, during the 2024-25 installment, Porto.
The team coached by Yehu Orland sits 0-1 in Group D of the new BCL Regular Season, following an opening loss to Tofas in Arena SamElyon on Wednesday. Resuming action in the six-game bid to reach the Round of 16, Bnei Herzliya visits La Laguna Tenerife in Santiago Martin Arena on Tuesday.
Besides injured Jones and Dawson, his new teammates stretch to Noah Carter, Daeshon Francis, Noam Fux, Max Heidegger, Denver Jones, Jordan Lazar, Shalev Lugashi, Moriel Lutaty, Kai Obziler, Chinanu Onuaku, Omer Sadeh, Noam Schvartz, Nitay Shalem, Elijah Stewart, and Jordon Varnado.
