The bad news from last night’s win over Olimpia Milano is that despite a clear advantage in depth, quality, home court and freshness, Hapoel Tel Aviv had to grind it out and win by the skin of their teeth. The good news is that after five straight losses, with the...
The first domino to fall in what’s being called “Hapoel Tel Aviv Model 2026” was Tyler Ennis’ season-ending injury at the start of the calendar year. It was that injury that pushed Hapoel Tel Aviv to hastily register Vasilije Micić as its tenth and final foreign...
I feel a certain mission to write about the incredible drama that unfolded on Thursday night at Yad Eliyahu (If you didn’t see it, well, that’s a real shame). Because a game like this deserves many, many words. It gave us so much. It was extraordinary in so many...
It’s painful to see how little Olympiacos actually needs Tyrique Jones, the same player who, for a few hours, was crowned as the one who would save Maccabi Tel Aviv’s season. In this Olympiacos roster, I’m not sure he’ll get more than the 7 minutes he played last...
Maccabi Tel Aviv’s loss to Bayern Munich on Friday sealed the twisted roller coaster that was the first round of the EuroLeague’s 2025–26 season. What didn’t we have there? Firings that were both decided upon and at the very same time were never really on the table....

The excitement is at its peak. EuroLeague leaders Hapoel Tel Aviv will return to Yad Eliyahu Arena (21:05) for a European matchup against Žalgiris Kaunas, the first continental clash since February 10, 1988, just under 38 years ago when the late Dražen Petrović...
You can describe Hapoel Tel Aviv’s 82-72 win last night in Munich over Bayern, in one word: nonchalant. You could also do it with two names: Elijah Bryant or Dan Oturu. But we won’t skimp on words when it comes to this team’s efficient performance, which once again...
From being snubbed at the draft and starting his way in Eilat, he reached the very highest peaks of basketball, but as a supporting player. This season too, he was not supposed to be the man in charge of the Reds, yet with all-world basketball, Elijah Bryant is...
A few minutes before the end of the game, when Glynn Watson hit a 3-pointer over Marcio Santos’s curly head and cut the lead to just three, there was a feeling that the homecoming party was about to be ruined by yet another random American guard (Kendrick Nunn, Kamar...
