Maccabi Tel Aviv: American basketball player Bonzie Colson has left Israeli champions Maccabi Tel Aviv and joined Turkish champions Fenerbahce, the two Euroleague clubs said in separate statements on Friday.

The 28-year-old forward decided to move to the Turkish side although his contract with Maccabi was supposed to expire only at the end of the upcoming season.

According to Israeli media, Fenerbahce compensated Maccabi with 400,000 U.S. dollars for the move.
