Maccabi Tel Aviv secured a 80-73 victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv in the second Tel Aviv derby within three days on Thursday. However, the win was marred by significant injuries to two key players, Yam Madar and Ousmane Brissett. Madar confirmed after the game that he suffered a broken nose. Club officials praised Madar's fighting spirit and desire to return to the court, noting his continuous effort to get back on the floor. He is scheduled for further examination today and is not expected to play in the upcoming game against Hapoel Jerusalem, receiving rest and continued treatment instead.
Brissett sustained an injury to his hip area after an awkward landing, following a block by an opponent that sent him forcefully to the floor. He left for treatment in the locker room experiencing pain and did not return to the game. Like Madar, Brissett is also not expected to participate in the match against Hapoel Jerusalem. The absence of both players is anticipated to directly impact the team in the upcoming Israeli basketball "clasico," especially as Maccabi has already suffered two league losses, holding a 2-2 record after four rounds.
