The Israeli Basketball Premier League's Appeals Committee on Monday rejected a request from Hapoel Tel Aviv to postpone the Tel Aviv derby, scheduled as part of the league's fourth round. Hapoel had sought the postponement due to a crowded schedule. The game will now proceed as planned on November 1st at 8:55 PM.
The committee cited the importance of broadcasting the game during prime viewing hours for a wide audience as a reason for upholding the league management's original decision on the match date. Furthermore, the committee determined that the approximately 48-hour gap between Hapoel's EuroLeague game in Dubai and the league match is not unreasonable or unusual, comparing it to previous instances and other leagues. The committee stated that the considerations made by the league management were relevant and legitimate.
