Maccabi Tel Aviv announced on Tuesday that guard Iffe Lundberg will be sidelined for six to eight weeks due to a partial tear in his quadriceps tendon. The injury comes just before the team's EuroLeague game against Real Madrid. Lundberg, a Danish player, was convinced by Maccabi Tel Aviv to sign for another season with the club over the past summer. He joined Maccabi midway through last season and quickly became a key player, leading the team to a series of victories that improved their playoff standing, despite a poor EuroLeague playoff performance. This season, in six EuroLeague games, Lundberg has averaged 7.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. His absence will cause him to miss three Tel Aviv derby games, including a league match, the Winner Cup final, and a EuroLeague game against Hapoel Tel Aviv. This is not Lundberg's first injury; he was previously sidelined for two weeks upon joining the team and also missed games between February and April. He is now expected to return to the court in December.
