Following a dismal 90-67 loss to Panathinaikos on Friday, Maccabi Tel Aviv is reportedly considering significant roster reinforcements. This marks the team's worst-ever EuroLeague season opening, with a 0-3 record. The club is reportedly concerned about player energy and a lack of cohesion, with new summer signings failing to impress. Despite projecting confidence externally, the team is exploring market options.
Looking ahead, Maccabi faces a crucial game against Milan on Thursday, with a potential 0-4 record looming before challenging Barcelona and Valencia in Spain. The team is also managing injuries. Center Daniel Theis, suffering from ankle sensitivity, is questionable for Saturday's Winner Cup semifinal against Hapoel Jerusalem, though efforts are being made to ready him. Israeli forward Gor Lavi, sidelined since March with a meniscus tear, is progressing well in his rehabilitation and is expected to return to play next month, aiming to be fit for the Winner League season opener.
