It has been widely reported that Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv’s Maik Zirbes will be loaned out to EuroCup side Bayern Munich.
The German international has only started two games for Maccabi in the EuroLeague this season, averaging a solid 8.1 points a game. However, while Zirbes’ minutes have come in at 15 minutes a game, he needs more playing time.
