Bryant joins Hapoel after four successful years with Anadolu Efes, where he won the EuroLeague title and every possible domestic trophy in Turkiye.
Last season was the best of his EuroLeague career, as he averaged 13.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, shooting 36.1% from three in 27 minutes on the floor.
Earlier in his career, Bryant played for Hapoel Eilat, where he began his professional journey, as well as Maccabi Tel Aviv and the Milwaukee Bucks.
He will now enter his seventh EuroLeague season, while Hapoel Tel Aviv make their debut appearance in the competition.
"I am proud and excited to join Hapoel Tel Aviv," Bryant said. "The project that has been built here has intrigued me in particular—the vision, the ambitions, and the desire to succeed at the highest levels."
Head coach Dimitris Itoudis welcomed Bryant to the team:
"We are very happy to add a player of the highest level to the roster—a versatile player who can contribute in several positions and perform a variety of roles, both offensively and defensively. I enjoyed all the conversations I had with Elijah, especially around how he sees himself fitting into the team and the idea we are trying to build here at Hapoel Tel Aviv."
