Israeli and German Basketball Teams Hold Moment of Silence for Late Player Raz Adam
Israeli basketball and the broader Israeli sports community mourned the tragic death of Raz Adam, a player for Hapoel Galil Elyon and a former member of Israel's national and youth basketball teams. Adam passed away about two months ago in a road accident in northern Israel.
In the first game of the Israeli national team since his passing, a moment of silence was observed in his memory. This tribute took place before the match against Germany in Riga, with players from both teams and the officiating crew participating in the ceremony. Additionally, the Israeli team held a commemorative event during their training session prior to departing for Riga, which was attended by Adam's family.
The gesture highlighted the respect and solidarity within the basketball community for the late player and his contributions to Israeli sports.
