Maccabi Tel Aviv's coach, Oded Katash, commented on the team's disappointing 113-99 EuroLeague loss to Real Madrid in Belgrade on Thursday, acknowledging player fatigue and potential roster moves. Despite holding a 15-point lead, Maccabi fell to a 5-2 record in the tournament after the seventh round. Katash stated that Real Madrid had an exceptional shooting night and capitalized on late-game clock situations. He noted that while the team played a perfect offensive game in the first half, fatigue became evident in the second, causing guards to "fall from their legs." The coach also addressed the adaptation challenges of player Kiton Wallace, attributing his struggles partly to overthinking and the absence of injured player Iffe Lundberg, which has necessitated distributing minutes among guards. Katash confirmed that Nemanja Nedovic is among the players being considered, stating, "He is one of the players on the lists. We will sit with Claudio and the management and make decisions."
