Vs Bayern Munich
Vs Panathinaikos
Last week Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv survived an absolute thriller in the Euroleague season opener against Bayern Munich and won 68:67. On Thursday, the yellows will face another tough rival at Menora-Mivtachim, and this time it will be Red Star Belgrade (Thursday, 21:05 local time, 2:05 pm ET, live broadcast on 5SPORT).
Although Maccabi signed Mathias Lessort to replace injured Ante ?i?i? (who will be out until November), it is still unclear if the French center will be available to coach Giannis Sfairopoulos. With or without Lessort, the yellows will try to maintain the tremendous defensive form so far this season (no opponent scored more than 68 points against Maccabi).
"We are facing a very dangerous opponent," said Sfairopoulos when asked about the Serbs that also did not concede more than 70 points in any game thus far. "They have very experienced players and great qualities. We'll be very focused and ready for a battle".
The Greek coach also had a message for the fans: "I hope and expect that our arena will be packed again. We need our fans, every single one of them, to get this win".
"Winning the MVP of the week title is not important to me. It does not matter", said Scottie Wilbekin, Who put on a fantastic show against Bayern, scoring 28 points, including two crucial free throws that eventually won the game. "We had a week to prepare, and I think now we'll look better on the court."
