Maccabi Tel Aviv is facing a critical EuroLeague game against Panathinaikos on Friday, with the team at risk of starting the season with a 0-3 record after a difficult loss to Besiktas. Panathinaikos, conversely, has had a strong start to their season with two easy wins.
Maccabi's coach, Oded Katash, has seen his team display poor defense in recent games, and they now face a significantly higher challenge. The team will be without Daniel Theis, who is not fit to play, and Shane Hunter is also not included in the squad, though Amit Avrahami is dressed for the game.
Panathinaikos bolstered their roster during the summer with the additions of Sylvain Francisco and Badi Boubacar in the backcourt, along with forwards Isaac Bonga and Guerschon Yabusele. The team also brought in the decorated coach Zeljko Obradovic. However, they will be missing injured players Kendrick Nunn and Kostas Sloukas, while Nigel Hayes-Davis, who was a doubt, is expected to be available.
The starting lineup for Maccabi included Jalen Clark, Ife Lundberg, Bonzie Colson, Jalen Hurd, and Roman Sorkin.
