Israeli Guard Shahar Lazar Set to Join NM State in 2022-23

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - A trip of nearly 7,500 miles is what the newest NM State men's basketball player will embark on in order to link up with the Aggies.

As announced Thursday morning by NM State head coach Greg Heiar, Israeli freshman guard Shahar Lazar has inked a National Letter of Intent to suit up for the Aggies beginning in 2022-23.

Fresh off of competing in the top basketball league in Israel, Lazar adds depth and toughness to the Aggies' backcourt as the 2022-23 squad continues to come together.
