- Tamir Blatt is injured and his status with Hapoel Tel Aviv is uncertain.
- Blatt is expected to return to Hapoel Tel Aviv practices next week.

Tamir Blatt, who signed a three-year contract with Hapoel Tel Aviv this past summer worth $1.5 million net annually, may not play for the team as his status remains unclear due to an injury sustained while playing for the national team. Analyst Eli Sahar reported on "Shnayim O'chazin Bakadur" that while Blatt is still recovering, his presence in video sessions indicates he is becoming part of the team. Sahar also noted that there is an understanding that Blatt could be loaned abroad by a certain date, and he has received offers, though none meet his desired level yet. Consequently, he is currently with Hapoel Tel Aviv and is expected to return to team practices next week.
Meanwhile, players from Maccabi Tel Aviv have reportedly expressed that Blatt's absence is felt on their team. Sahar cited observations that Maccabi's guards, including Hord, Kuka, Clark, Wallace, and Yam, are primarily dribble-oriented players, whereas Blatt was instrumental in assisting the team's taller players, a contribution that is now missed.
