Roi Prizki suffers scary head injury after missed dunk in Galil Elyon game

Center
Translated & summarized from N12 by baba
The story · English

A worrying incident occurred in the final game of the season in Kfar Blum, during Galil Elyon’s matchup with Elitzur Netanya. In the second quarter, Galil Elyon guard Roi Prizki went up for a fast-break dunk, slipped off the rim, and fell hard to the floor, striking his head and causing visible bleeding. The game was stopped after the injury.

Despite the heavy blow, Prizki got up on his own and walked off the court without assistance. The report did not say that he was taken to hospital, and it only noted the on-court bleeding and the brief stoppage.

Prizki had recently joined Galil Elyon from Hapoel Jerusalem. He was also described as having played an important role in the recent game that helped the northern club remain in the Israeli Premier League. The incident was reported by Sport 5 on June 22, 2026, at 19:39.
