Former National Basketball Assn. star Micheal Ray Richardson will not be able to play with an Israeli basketball team this summer because FIBA, the sport’s governing body, has refused to lift the ban that keeps him from playing overseas, according to a published report.

Richardson was barred from the NBA last season after violating the league’s drug policy.
