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”.
