Maccabi Tel Aviv guard Yam Madar is determined to play in Saturday night's "Super Classico" against Hapoel Jerusalem, despite suffering a broken nose during a recent game. While his participation is still uncertain due to sensitivity in the injured area, team sources indicate a high probability he will take the court. The team is hopeful he can help them continue their winning momentum.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is coming off a successful week, having secured two consecutive victories in the Tel Aviv derby. The first win led to their championship in the Winner League Cup, and the second was the first EuroLeague derby of the season, held in Limassol, Cyprus. The team anticipates a significant challenge from Hapoel Jerusalem, who have displayed impressive defensive capabilities and remain undefeated in both the league and the EuroCup this season.
Maccabi is looking to build on their recent positive performance, particularly their defensive improvements, and secure another win during a busy upcoming schedule. Coach Oded Katash will have Daniel Theis available for the first time this season in the Winner League, with the center expected to make his league debut after showing good form in recent games. However, Osai Brissett will be sidelined due to hip and groin pain sustained during Thursday's derby, and the team has decided to rest him to aid his recovery for the upcoming double EuroLeague week.
The full roster for the game includes Jalen Hurd, Jimmy Clark, Keton Wallace, Daniel Theis, Bonzie Colson, Roman Sorkin, John DiBartolomeo, Yam Madar, Will Rayman, Amit Avivi, Gur Lavi, and T.J. Leaf.
