Hapoel Tel Aviv owner confronts federation chairman before Game 4 of the finals
Moments before Game 4 of the Israeli Basketball Premier League finals between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv, an unusual confrontation broke out between Hapoel Tel Aviv owner Ofer Yannay and Israel Basketball Association chairman Amos Frishman.
According to the report, Yannay argued with Frishman and angrily challenged the suspension he received after his conduct and remarks in a game against Hapoel Jerusalem at the Menora Mivtachim Arena. He shouted, “Does it seem logical to you that I need a court order to see my own team in the finals?”
Frishman did not respond to the outburst and remained seated. The incident happened on June 23, 2026, just before tipoff of the series’ fourth game.
