Maccabi Tel Aviv held a ceremony for point guard Tamir Blatt of Hapoel Tel Aviv on Sunday evening before his first game with his new team against his former club. Blatt, who made a significant summer transfer from Maccabi to Hapoel Tel Aviv, was honored by his ex-team for his contributions during his tenure. During the brief ceremony, Roman Sorkin presented Blatt with a bouquet of flowers.
This marks Blatt's first appearance this season in the red uniform, coincidentally in the derby against Maccabi. He joins Hapoel after Yam Madar's move to Maccabi. Initially, Hapoel's coaching staff was reportedly not keen on signing Blatt. However, after recovering from an injury that sidelined him since late August, when he played with the national team, Blatt is set to make his season debut.
Blatt played three seasons with Maccabi Tel Aviv, being a key player in each. In his peak season with the Yellows in the EuroLeague 2024-25, he averaged 8.9 points and 6.7 assists.
