Hapoel Jerusalem's star player, Kenny Lofton Jr., ranked his team first in the league while placing both Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv in the last two spots. This ranking was revealed in a social media clip from the league administration, taken from a media day event last month. Lofton Jr. was asked to rank all the league teams, and it appeared he was only familiar with his own team and the two Tel Aviv clubs. Hapoel Jerusalem is set to face Maccabi Tel Aviv on Sunday evening in the Toto Hall in Holon for the Winner Cup semifinal. The winner of that match will advance to play Hapoel Tel Aviv in the final. Following the cup competition, Hapoel Jerusalem will continue its European season with an away game against Ljubljana on Tuesday. The team will then open its domestic league season on the following Sunday with an away game against Hapoel Holon.
