Maccabi Tel Aviv will host Hapoel Kiryat Ata on Thursday evening in the second round of the Israeli Basketball Premier League. Both teams enter the contest following victories in their opening games. Maccabi, who also defeated Valencia in EuroLeague play on Thursday, aims to extend their positive momentum with a second consecutive home win in the league.
However, the team will be without five players. Yam Madar, still experiencing tailbone pain, will be rested and unavailable for coach Oded Katash. He will be joined on the sidelines by Londonberg, Jaylen Hoard, Will Rayman, and Daniel Theis, who are also being given a rest due to the team's demanding schedule of three games this week.
Additionally, forward Gur Lavi, despite being included in the roster, is not yet cleared to play due to a knee injury. He continues his rehabilitation and is gradually progressing towards full fitness, but will sit out this game.
Maccabi is coming off a mixed week in the EuroLeague, buoyed by their win against Valencia but disappointed by a last-second loss to Barcelona. The team hopes to carry their positive performance from these European games into their domestic league matchup.
