Vasilije Micic erupts at referees in Israel playoff final
Vasilije Micic, the Serbian guard for Hapoel Tel Aviv, lost his composure during the Winner League playoff final after a refereeing call went against him and led to a turnover. According to the report, the officials made a mistake on the play, and Micic reacted angrily toward the officiating crew.
The incident came during a poor first half for Micic, who had not been effective for Hapoel Tel Aviv up to that point. By halftime, he had no points, was 0-for-4 from the field, and had collected four rebounds and four assists.
The 0 points were accompanied by five turnovers, underscoring how difficult the game had been for him. The clip of his outburst was published by Sport 5 on June 16, 2026, at 21:36, and the report noted that such tension is to be expected in a championship playoff setting.
