“Although I would have liked to return for another season, the team, coach and I could not find a role that I felt would allow me to meaningfully contribute in the way I have always been accustomed to play,” Stoudemire wrote on Instagram.“I feel it is my time now, to return to the shareholder’s position and help make this team even better. I would like to thank Hapoel Jerusalem president. Ori Allon, and the entire Hapoel Jerusalem organization for giving me the opportunity to retire as a champion and doing it in the holiest of cities made even more special. I wish my teammates, friends and fans another great season.”Jerusalem will play three tune-up games in Israel over the next couple of weeks before leaving for a 12-day camp in Spain. Yotam Halperin, Lior Eliyahu, Bar Timor, Yogev Ohayon and Howell will join the roster in Spain after Israel ends its participation in the EuroBasket tournament.
