Holon's Greg Lee to Miss Season Opener Against Ness Ziona
Hapoel Holon is set to officially begin their basketball season tonight at 7:00 PM, facing Ironi Ness Ziona in the Winner's Cup. The game will be held at Zisman Hall due to renovations at Holon's usual home arena, Lev HaMoshavah.
Coach Predrag Krunic will lead Holon, which features a new roster of foreign players. The team aims to reach the upper playoff bracket and compete for the league title this season. Holon will also participate in the Basketball Champions League (BCL) for another year.
Forward Greg Lee will be absent from the game after suffering an ankle sprain during a preparation match against Hapoel Jerusalem. The club wants to allow him full recovery. Ness Ziona enters the contest following a recent victory over Kiryat Ata. For Ness Ziona, this is their second game in the Winner's Cup group stage, with a win securing them a spot in the quarterfinals.
Additionally, Adam Ariel and Noam Dovrat will continue to be sidelined due to injuries. Jacob Wiley, who arrived in Israel only on Tuesday morning, will not participate in the match.
