Cline, who is 26 and stands 20.6 meters (6.75 feet) tall, started out the season with Italy's Basket Brescia Leonessa and scored an average of 11.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in Italian Lega Basket games and 10.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in EuroCup games.
Recently, Maccabi Tel Aviv has been looking into the possibility of the player leaving his current club and joining the Israeli team in an attempt to beef up its starting bench.
If Cline signs with Maccabi, it will be the second Israeli team on which he has played. He spent 2017-2020 with Hapoel Holon, when the team won the national title.
