Maccabi Tel Aviv guard Yam Madar confirmed he played with a broken nose during his team's 80-73 EuroLeague victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv in Limassol on Thursday. Madar sustained the injury in the second quarter from an apparent accidental elbow by Vasilije Micić, which caused bleeding from his nose. Despite initial fears of a fracture, Madar returned to the game in the third quarter with his nose bandaged, though he briefly left again due to lip bleeding. He re-entered the game and played until the end, scoring a crucial basket.
Madar, who transferred from Hapoel to Maccabi in the summer, contributed 10 points and seven assists in 12 minutes of play, playing a significant role in the tense final minutes of the game in Cyprus. He expressed his satisfaction with the team's resilience, stating, "We stayed together, that's the most important thing." He also noted the team's improved performance compared to previous games, emphasizing his desire to be there for the team despite the injury.
Maccabi Tel Aviv's coach, Oded Katash, was uncertain about Madar's condition during halftime but acknowledged the guard's important contribution. The EuroLeague match, part of the 11th round of the season, saw Maccabi Tel Aviv dominate against their rivals.
