The Israeli floor general, picked 47th this past November by the Cs, is facing some monetary issues with his current team, Hapoel Tel Aviv:

Madar has filed a lawsuit asking for arbitration regarding his release from playing for his current in the Premier League — Hapoel Tel Aviv — at the end of the current season. Madar claims that his team is demanding $700,000 for his release despite the terms of his current deal allegedly allowing him to leave free and clear at the end of this season.
