The yellow-and-blue will remain in Serbia for Thursday\u2019s matchup against Paris Basketball, with this contest serving as home-away-from-home game amid the ongoing security situation in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Head Coach Oded Katash\u2019s squad enters the game with a 2-5 record after suffering a disappointing 93-90 overtime loss to Maccabi Rishon LeZion in Winner League action. Maccabi will now have to quickly put that setback behind them against a physical Red Star side, with the challenge made more difficult by the absence of injured guard Iffe Lundberg, who is expected to miss six to eight weeks with a partial tear of his quadriceps tendon. The club is still searching for a replacement in the backcourt.<\/p>\n<p>Katash acknowledged the frustration following the Rishon defeat but stressed the importance of learning from the loss and maintaining the right mentality as the schedule becomes increasingly demanding.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_191920\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-191920\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_0873.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-191920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_0873.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_0873-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_0873-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_0873-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_0873-1080x720.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-191920\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oded Katash &#8211; Photo credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cThe game against Rishon didn\u2019t unfold the way we wanted. It\u2019s not easy, and we don\u2019t want to make excuses, but these things can happen. We have to learn from it and move on because, ultimately, it\u2019s not all that bad,\u201d Katash explained. \u201cThe schedule isn\u2019t going to get any easier, especially now with a double week against two teams that are a little different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Maccabi coach also pointed to rebounding and physicality as critical factors over the next two games, noting that both upcoming opponents rank among the EuroLeague\u2019s best in offensive rebounding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to face two teams that lead the EuroLeague in offensive rebounding, which is a key area for us and an opportunity to show aggression, commitment and consistency,\u201d Katash said. \u201cWe\u2019re still in the early stages of the season, but we\u2019ve had better games. After the first two EuroLeague games, we had much better stretches, including this past week.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_193231\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-193231\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0937.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-193231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0937.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0937-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0937-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0937-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0937-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-193231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nDespite falling behind by 20 points against Rishon, Maccabi fought its way back to force overtime, while the team also showed positive stretches against Real Madrid. However, Katash emphasized that the squad must bring consistent energy and focus regardless of the circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s one thing that, in my opinion, is worse than the loss itself: body language and energy,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to bring 100% energy every two days, but that\u2019s our job. It\u2019s the only way we can ensure that we at least remain positive. It\u2019s still a long season, and we\u2019ll face challenges. It\u2019s not going to get any easier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Katash also addressed the speculation surrounding Maccabi\u2019s search for another guard, insisting that the club\u2019s management and ownership remain committed to strengthening the roster.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_148906\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148906\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3917.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-148906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3917.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3917-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3917-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3917-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3917-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-148906\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Claudio Coldebella &#8211; Photo credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cI have 100% confidence in management and in Claudio Coldebella, and efforts are being made in this regard,\u201d he said, dismissing suggestions that financial concerns or disagreements among the owners were preventing the club from making a move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe owners also have high ambitions. There is a genuine intention to bring in a player. There are no issues and no hidden messages. Everyone is committed, and there are no restrictions. Quite the opposite. We simply need to find the right player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Forward Oshae Brissett echoed his coach\u2019s message, stressing that Maccabi must take responsibility for its recent performances and rediscover the intensity that can make it competitive against any opponent.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_192963\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-192963\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.39.48.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-192963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.39.48.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.39.48-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.39.48-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.39.48-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.39.48-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-192963\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oshae Brissett &#8211; Photo Credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cWe simply have to focus on one game at a time. But I think we need to look at ourselves. Before we get to these games, it\u2019s not about plays or anything like that. We have to understand what kind of team we want to be,\u201d Brissett said. \u201cIt\u2019s frustrating that we\u2019re experiencing this now, but we can turn things around because we have a lot of great guys on this team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brissett believes Maccabi has the talent to compete with the EuroLeague\u2019s best, but emphasized that effort and execution must come first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever happens, we cannot lose because we didn\u2019t play hard, didn\u2019t do the little things or didn\u2019t make our fans and our team proud. Those things really matter, and they can win us games because we\u2019re talented. We\u2019re one of the most talented teams in the EuroLeague. The message to the guys is simple: We have to go out there and play hard. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead to Red Star, Brissett acknowledged the quality of the Serbian side but insisted that Maccabi\u2019s performance will ultimately determine its chances of success.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_192451\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-192451\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_6441.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-192451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_6441.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_6441-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_6441-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_6441-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_6441-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-192451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oshae Brissett &#8211; Photo credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cThey\u2019re a physical, tough and talented team, but it all depends on us.

We have to do what we do, go out there and play our game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brissett also admitted that the loss to Rishon could linger mentally, but stressed that the team must quickly turn its attention to the next challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter who you lose to or when. Whenever you lose at anything in life, it stays with you. But people always say you\u2019re only as good as your next game, so we simply have to focus on our next game and beat Red Star Belgrade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a difficult double week ahead and little time to dwell on recent results, Maccabi will need to bring greater consistency, match Red Star\u2019s physicality and take care of the details if it hopes to return to the winning column and improve its EuroLeague standing.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_177862\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-177862\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6177.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-177862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6177.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6177-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6177-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6177-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6177-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-177862\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oshae Brissett &#8211; Photo credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maccabi Tel Aviv will look to get back on track Tuesday night when they visit Red Star Belgrade in Serbia for the opening game of a EuroLeague double week.
