Maccabi Tel Aviv is set to face Valencia on Thursday in the sixth round of the EuroLeague, aiming to bounce back from a dramatic last-second loss to Barcelona. The team, now with a 4-1 record after the 90-87 defeat, faces another significant challenge in Spain's "double week" of games. Maccabi is still processing the painful loss in Barcelona and needs to recover physically and mentally for the away game against a strong opponent in a notoriously difficult arena.
Guard Yam Madar is questionable for the game due to a back injury sustained when he landed on a Barcelona player's leg. Madar, who set a career-high in the EuroLeague with 22 points and a 31 efficiency rating against Barcelona, participated in a partial practice and received treatment. A decision on his participation will be made shortly before tip-off.
Coach Oded Kattash described the upcoming game as potentially more intense than the one against Barcelona. "We need to recover quickly," Kattash stated, reflecting on the feeling of being close to a win against Barcelona. He noted Valencia's inconsistent performance against Olympiacos, where they led by 28 points before faltering. Kattash emphasized the need for his team to focus on defense, concentration, and intensity, acknowledging the difficulty of playing in Valencia.
