Maccabi Tel Aviv is actively searching for a new guard to join their roster, with the need described as immediate. The team is preparing for their first away game of the Israeli Basketball Premier League season against Maccabi Rishon LeZion on Saturday, aiming to maintain their perfect league record.

This search comes after a disappointing EuroLeague loss to Real Madrid, highlighting the significant impact of player Iffe Lundberg's injury. His absence has been keenly felt in game management and rotation, as the team struggles to find solutions during stretches without the Danish point guard, who is expected to be sidelined for longer than initially anticipated.

Ousmane Brissett and Daniel Theis will not be registered for the upcoming game and will be rested. The foreign player lineup for the match includes Kithon Wallace, Armando Bacot, Jimmy Clark, Jalen Hurd, and Bonzie Colson. Coach Oded Kattash plans to utilize a broad rotation due to the team's upcoming double-week schedule in Europe.

Will Rayman is also included in the squad, taking the naturalized player spot previously held by Shane Hunter, who played nearly 30 minutes in their last league game against Kiryat Ata. Maccabi Tel Aviv currently holds a 5-2 record in the EuroLeague and a 2-0 record in the Israeli Premier League.
