Hapoel Tel Aviv adds Dan Oturu for Game 4, Maccabi Tel Aviv keeps Lonnie Walker out
Hapoel Tel Aviv made a major roster change ahead of Game 4 of the Israeli Basketball Premier League playoff final against Maccabi Tel Aviv, while Maccabi kept its lineup unchanged and again left Lonnie Walker out of the squad.
After Maccabi missed a chance to clinch the championship and sweep the series in front of its home fans, Hapoel will try to win a second straight game on Tuesday night and level the final at 2-2 in its home game against the yellow team.
Hapoel replaced Jonathan Motley with Dan Oturu, who is set to play for the first time since May 7, when Hapoel lost its playoff series to Real. Oturu last played in Israel four months ago, on February 18. Hapoel also registered Vasilije Micic, Kyriandre Cook, Ish Wainright and Tai Odiasi.
Maccabi made no changes and again left Walker off the roster. Its registered players are Jimmy Clark, Iffe Lundberg, Oshae Brissett, Jaylen Hoard and Zach Hankins.
