On Friday: Maccabi scrimmages with Fenerbahce
The Israeli champs face Wilbekin, Madar for a friendly game as part of the Nick Galis Tournament in Rhodes (9AM ET)
It is the second practice game for Oded Kattash’s men, after a 89:68 victory over Hapoel Holon last week. The yellow-and-blue squad has been in the Greek island since Tuesday for a short training camp, and the trip will conclude on Sunday with another practice game against a EuroLeague opponent in Panathinaikos.
Maccabi’s rivals on Friday, Fenerbahce, is one of the most intriguing teams in the upcoming season. The Turkish team added Israeli guard Yam Madar to a backcourt that already had many familiar faces, such as Scottie Wilbekin and Tyler Dorsey.
“We are excited to begin this high level tournament here in Rhodes”, said coach Kattash, “We feel good, we had a good training camp. We will want to try out some things in this game”.
Maccabi beats Fenerbahce 82:78 in Rhodes
The Israeli champs remain unbeaten in preseason play in a game they controlled throughout. Baldwin led the scorers with 16. On Sunday: Maccabi faces Panathinaikos
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv remained unbeaten in preseason play on Friday, after a 82:78 win over Fenerbahce in the Nick Galis Tournament in Rhodes, Greece.
Oded Kattash’s squad was in control for virtually the entire contest, and at one point led by 15 points. Wade Baldwin led all scorers in the game with 16 points, while Lorenzo Brown and Bonzie Colson each contributed 10.
Fenerbahce, led by familiar faces in Scottie Wilbekin and Yam Madar, tried to launch a late comeback by cutting Maccabi’s lead to just three points. But a crucial score by Josh Nebo in the final minute settled the outcome of the game.
The yellow-and-blue will scrimmage with Panathinaikos on Sunday in its second and final game of the tournament.
