Levi Randolph, the 32-year-old American guard, has found a new home with Zenit St. Petersburg after leaving Maccabi Tel Aviv. Randolph, who showcased impressive skills during his rookie season in Europe, has signed a two-year deal with the Russian club. Last season, he was one of the standout players for Maccabi Tel Aviv, averaging 12 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in the Champions League. In the Israeli Premier League, he improved his numbers with an average of 14.8 points per game, along with 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists.
After Maccabi Tel Aviv opted not to exercise their option on Randolph, he sought a salary upgrade but could not reach an agreement with the club. Maccabi attempted to sign him to a new contract without exit options, but the gaps between the parties were significant. Ultimately, the club decided to end their association with the player.
Randolph's move to Zenit means he will remain in Saint Petersburg until the end of the 2026/27 season. He joins the team with hopes of continuing his success and becoming a central figure in the Russian club. With impressive offensive skills and the ability to enhance defensive play, Randolph is expected to be a significant addition to Zenit.
His transfer to Zenit marks a new chapter in Randolph's career, and he will aim to prove himself in the Russian league and achieve further successes. The Russian club is counting on him to lead the team and be a key player in the upcoming season.
