The Israeli Basketball Premier League's Appeals Committee on Monday rejected Hapoel Tel Aviv's request to postpone the Tel Aviv derby against Maccabi Tel Aviv, scheduled for November 1, at 8:55 PM. Hapoel had sought the delay due to a tight schedule, including a EuroLeague game in Dubai. The committee ruled that the original scheduling was sound, citing the importance of broadcasting the game during prime viewing hours. They also determined that the approximately 48-hour gap between the EuroLeague match and the league game was reasonable and comparable to other leagues and previous instances. The committee stated that the league management's considerations for the game's timing were relevant and legitimate.
