Hapoel Holon is set to play their second Basketball Champions League (BCL) game tonight against Serbian team Spartak Subotica, aiming for their first victory in the competition. The team has suffered two consecutive losses, first to French club Cholet and then to Hapoel Jerusalem in their domestic league opener.

Player Brandon Jones, who missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, traveled with the team to Subotica. A decision on his participation in tonight's game will be made just before tip-off. In contrast, guard Skylar Wicks did not travel with the team to Serbia as the results of his completed medical tests, the last of which was on Sunday, are still pending.

Coach Predrag Krunić acknowledged the challenge, stating, "Spartak is a team that has started its BCL games well, they are a very experienced team. We will try to minimize the ups and downs in our game and look for our way to win through defense and fighting spirit."
