Hapoel Tel Aviv advanced to the Winner Cup final after defeating Ironi Ness Ziona 79-76 on Saturday. Guard Eugene German, 28, had his best game to date for the team, scoring 17 points with five three-pointers, four assists, and a steal. German's performance came in a game where he played significant minutes, leading the team in assists and ranking fourth in playing time.
German, who signed a contract worth $750,000 per season with a monthly opt-out clause for the team starting in December, is currently the third-string point guard behind Vasilije Micić and Tomas Satoransky, especially with Tyler Ennis recovering from injury. He had previously seen limited minutes in losses to Bayern Munich and Crvena Zvezda in the EuroLeague.
Micić, Satoransky, and Elijah Bryant were among the players rested following a busy week of EuroLeague games.
Hapoel Tel Aviv is scheduled to play Valencia on Thursday and will open their Israeli Premier League season on Sunday against Hapoel Be'er Sheva/Dimona at the Conch Shell arena.
