Maccabi Tel Aviv is facing internal turmoil following a significant defeat to Panathinaikos. The team, having just returned to Israel, has minimal rest before their upcoming semi-final game against Hapoel Jerusalem in the Winner Cup. Sources within the club express concern that the current roster is insufficient to meet the season's objectives, which include reaching the EuroLeague play-in tournament and maintaining competitiveness. There is a growing call for immediate roster adjustments, with one insider stating, "At this stage, we cannot leave things to fate. We have very significant problems within the team and we must fix them before it's too late."
