After beating Baskonia in the EuroLeague, Avi Even and his men host the last-placed Oranges (9 PM Israel time). Zizic, Thomas and Caloiaro were left out of the squad
Maccabi will be without three players who were left put of the squad: Ante Zizic, Khyri Thomas and Angelo Caloiaro. This means that Jake Cohen is back after participating in the Israeli national team games last week. The 11 players to represent the reigning champions in the game: John DiBartolomeo, Scottie Wilbekin, Derrick Williams, Jalen Reynolds, Roman Sorkin, Oded Brandwein, Oz Blayzer, Jake Cohen, James Nunnally and Yiftach Ziv.
The Maccabees’ adversaries are having a tumultuous season, having replaced head coach Guy Goodes with Dror Cohen, while also making many changes in the squad. The Oranges latest addition to the team, Anthony Brown, did make a difference by scoring 17.4 points and collecting 6.4 rebounds per game and helping Rishon LeZion to two wins in their last four games.
