Hapoel Eilat will host Hapoel Holon on Thursday evening at 8:05 PM in a Winner League basketball game, marking their return to their home arena after two years. The team is looking to build on their opening-week victory, an 89-80 win over Maccabi Rishon LeZion, where they dominated most of the game. Forward Aaron Wheeler will be absent due to a knee injury. The club expressed satisfaction with the team's performance in the first game, highlighting the contributions of Kendall McCollum, Bryant Crawford, Daniel Rosenbaum, and Nuni Omot, who integrated well with the rest of the squad under coach Oren Aharoni.
Hapoel Holon enters the matchup 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 lateral collateral ligament in his knee. Skylar Weeks has rejoined practices fully after passing medical tests and is awaiting league approval to play as a new naturalized citizen, though he is eligible for the upcoming BCL game in Germany, subject to the competition's 'homegrown' rules. Holon also secured a recent win in the BCL despite their league opening loss.
