Hapoel Eilat will host Hapoel Holon on Tuesday evening at 8:05 PM in a Winner League basketball game. This marks Eilat's return to their home arena in Begin after a two-year absence, celebrating their first league win in that span, an 80-89 victory over Maccabi Rishon LeZion. Forward Aaron Wheeler will miss the game due to a knee injury.
The team expressed satisfaction with their performance in the opening game, led by Kendall McCollum, Bryant Crawford, Daniel Rosenbaum, and Nuni Omot, who integrated well with the rest of the squad. Coach Oren Aharoni's team was dominant for most of their previous match.
Hapoel Holon enters the game following a 92-69 loss to Hapoel Jerusalem in their league opener, preceded by another defeat in the BCL. Coach Predrag Krunić has a full roster available, except for forward Greg Lee, who is sidelined with a torn collateral ligament in his knee.
Skylar Weeks has rejoined practices fully and passed all medical tests. The club is awaiting approval for him to play in the league as a new naturalized player, though he is eligible to play in next week's BCL game in Germany, subject to the competition's 'homegrown' rules. Holon also secured a recent win in the BCL after their league opening loss.
