Hapoel Tel Aviv's star player Vasilije Micić is a question mark for the team's upcoming Winner Cup final against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Monday evening. Micić has been playing through an ankle injury in recent games, but his participation in the derby will depend on a fitness test scheduled two hours before tip-off. The team's coaching staff, led by Dimitris Itoudis, is deliberating his inclusion, especially given the need to finalize the roster 90 minutes before the game, unlike league matches where rosters are submitted earlier. Antonio Blakeney and Dan Ortero are expected to be included in the squad. Hapoel Tel Aviv aims to secure a victory in the derby, having convincingly defeated Maccabi 105-87 in a recent league encounter. The team will face Maccabi again on Thursday in a EuroLeague matchup.
