Maccabi Tel Aviv's participation of guard Yam Madar in Saturday's game against Hapoel Jerusalem is uncertain after he fractured his nose during a EuroLeague derby. The team announced on Friday that Madar underwent a procedure to reset the bone, but due to high sensitivity, he will miss practice and a final decision on his availability will be made just before tip-off.
