Maccabi Tel Aviv secured their second derby victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv within three days, winning 80-73 on Thursday. However, the win was marred by significant injuries to two key players, Yam Madar and Oshey Brissett. Madar confirmed after the game that he suffered a broken nose, with the team noting his strong desire to return to the court. On Friday, the club reported that Madar underwent a medical procedure to reset the bone. He will not practice Friday due to high sensitivity, and a decision on his participation in Saturday's game against Hapoel Jerusalem will be made closer to tip-off.

Brissett sustained a hip injury after an awkward landing following a block by the player, which sent him forcefully to the floor. He received treatment in the locker room for pain and did not return to the game. Brissett, who contributed 4 points and 5 rebounds with a strong defensive presence, is not expected to play in the upcoming game.
