Hapoel Tel Aviv is set to host Anadolu Efes in Sofia on Wednesday for their eighth EuroLeague game of the season. The Israeli team, coached by Dimitris Itoudis, aims to rebound from a domestic league loss to Hapoel Jerusalem and secure their fourth consecutive EuroLeague victory. A win would improve their record to 6-2 and move them closer to the top of the standings.
Anadolu Efes arrives with a 3-4 record, having won their last two EuroLeague contests against Zalgiris Kaunas and Besiktas. The Turkish team is missing Vasilije Micić due to an ankle issue and Jacob Toppin due to illness. Hapoel Tel Aviv's roster for the game consists of 11 players, none of whom are Israeli-born, as they did not travel to Sofia.
Despite the absence of key players, Anadolu Efes boasts a strong lineup including Cameron Payne, who has integrated well after replacing Mike James. Other notable players for the Turkish side are Dario Šarić, Matthew Strazel, Jordan Loyd, and former Hapoel Tel Aviv player Collin Malcolm.
Last season, Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Anadolu Efes in both of their matchups. Following this game, Hapoel Tel Aviv will travel to face Dubai on Friday.
