He is scheduled for further examination on Friday and is expected to miss the upcoming game against Hapoel Jerusalem to rest and receive treatment.
Brissett sustained an injury to his hip area after a hard fall following a block by the player. He experienced pain and was unable to return to the game. Like Madar, Brissett is not expected to play in the crucial "Israeli basketball Clasico" against Hapoel Jerusalem.
