Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv will square off against Ironi Kiryat Ata on Friday (2 PM Israel time, 7 AM ET) in the Israeli cup semi-finals. Coming off of their EuroLeague exit after a tough and grueling playoffs series, the yellows will attempt to make a quick turnaround and take a step toward the important trophy.
The Maccabees are counting three consecutive losses, but know that these say nothing about their current shape. Wade Baldwin IV is expected to miss the game with his hamstring injury.
Oded Kattash and his men will try to return to the finals, where they lost last season. Maccabi comfortably passed Maccabi Ramat Gan in the quarter-finals to the tune of a 104-72 victory, and are only two wins away from redemption.
Kiryat Ata are currently seating at sixth place in the Israeli league rankings, suffering from a bad stretch that saw them lose 7 out of the team's last previous league games. The team's leading scorer, guard James Batemon, missed the game against Hapoel Jerusalem earlier in the week with an injury and his availabilty is unclear.
