Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem announced the signing of American forward Anthony Lamb to a two year deal.
Lamb (1.98 meters, 27 years old) arrives from Dolomiti Energia Trento, for which he posted 13.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game over 18 appearances in the BKT EuroCup last season. He raised those numbers to 15.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists in the Italian League to hep Trento finish the regular season in third place. His dynamic offensive skillset and defensive tenacity made him a key for Trento and should serve him well with Jerusalem.
"I’m very happy that Anthony is joining us," Jerusalem coach Yonatan Alon said. "He will add his understanding of the game, passing ability, and shooting, and I’m confident he will contribute to the special mix we have on the team on a human level as well."
The forward took a little time to get going last season as he was coming off a torn Achilles tendon suffered in February 2024, when he was starring for the New Zealand Breakers in the Australian NBL. Lamb averaged 19.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game and was sixth in the league in scoring when he went down.
Lamb was a college basketball star at the University of Vermont, where he was twice named the American East Conference Player of the Year. He split his first three professional seasons between the NBA and the G-League. After playing for the Houston Rockets in 2020-21 and the San Antonio Spurs the next season, Lamb averaged 6.7 points and 3.5 rebounds in 62 games for the Golden State Warriors in 2022-23. He won the 2022 G-League with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
His journey through the G League, the Australian NBL, and European basketball has shaped Lamb into a resilient and versatile contributor. Fans in the Israeli capital can expect energy, intensity, and a player eager to leave his mark and make a run at glory.
