Hapoel Tel Aviv has registered new player Amir Coffey for their Israeli Basketball Premier League roster, while Vasilije Micić and Zach LeDay have been excluded from the squad for domestic league games. The team, coached by Dimitris Itoudis, is set to play its first home game of the season in the league against Maccabi Ashdod at Heichal Shlomo. This marks their return to the venue after two years.
Hapoel Tel Aviv is allowed to register up to eight foreign players in the league, and currently has seven on the roster. The team will need to make a decision between Micić and LeDay later in the season to fill the eighth foreign player slot. If they wish to register both, another player will have to be removed from the roster. Players not currently registered are not necessarily out for the entire season, as the team has the option to make two roster changes for foreign players, after which any removed player cannot play for the remainder of the season.
The team is entering its home league debut with significant momentum, following a perfect week in the EuroLeague. They secured two victories, including an impressive 91-81 road win against Panathinaikos, improving their European record to 4-2. In their domestic league opener last week, Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Hapoel Beer Sheva/Dimona 95-82 on the road, with Dan Ortero scoring 21 points and Eugene German adding 20.
