According to Spanish outlet "Ensestado", the Emirati team's offer has outbid numerous competitors, including Partizan, which Israeli media recently linked to the player.
Per the aforementioned source, Hord is close to signing with Dubai. In their debut EuroLeague season, Dubai fell short of a Top 10 finish, and they aim to enter the next season with an even more competitive squad, targeting a playoff spot.
Hord delivered stellar performances for Maccabi over the past two seasons, attracting significant attention from European clubs. He concluded the current season averaging 11.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. Despite having a valid contract with the Israeli team, his chances of remaining there for the next competitive year are slim.
In recent days, Real Madrid basketball player Mario Hezonja has also been linked with Dubai, with reports suggesting he could reunite with his former "royal club" teammate, Dzanan Musa.
