The quarterfinals of the National Basketball Cup will continue tomorrow (Sunday).

After two years of losses in the quarterfinals, and three years without winning the state cup, Maccabi Tel Aviv will try to continue its journey towards the cup when it hosts Hapoel Tel Aviv for a hot derby.

Maccabi Rishon Lezion, which has qualified for the later stages of the cup in the last two years, will want to continue the tradition against Nes Ziona, which was also stopped last year only in the semifinals.

Maccabi Tel Aviv - Hapoel Tel Aviv (21:00, Sports 5)

Last week, Maccabi Tel Aviv achieved its first title for this season, when it defeated Hapoel Holon in the Winner's Cup final, and the Yellows want to return to the state Cup semi-final for the first time since 2018, after two years since being stopped in the quarterfinals.

Maccabi were very pleased with the attitude and ability of the players in the convincing victory over Hapoel Jerusalem on Thursday, and hope to continue the momentum in the first derby of the season.

The injured Othello Hunter will be absent, as will Sandy Cohen, who is not in the country, when the team will announce in the evening who the other two players will not dress for the match.



To say the least, Hapoel Tel Aviv has not recorded a good season so far.

The Reds started the season with two wins in eight games in the league, their weakest balance since the relegation season 1998/9, and in the cup they did qualify for the quarterfinals, not before passing two thrillers against Hapoel Ramat Gan / Givatayim and Elitzur Netanya from the national team.

Yannis Kastritis' team underwent a significant change this week - center Tyrrick Jones signed, landed and will make his debut in the derby, while Joaquin Schuchman moved to Hapoel Eilat after a season and a half of disappointments in the red.

Bar Timor is expected to play again, while Taliban Xana who underwent surgery and Jones has taken his place, and the injured John Dibbler, will be absent.

Maccabi Rishon Lezion - Urbani Ness Ziona (18:00, 5STARS)

Precisely after a good period with some close and important home victories, Maccabi Rishon Lezion was stopped in the middle of the week with a home loss against Hapoel Gilboa / Galil.

At the end of the game, the team's coach Guy Goodes admitted that he is looking at the bottom more than the top, when the team is not satisfied with the ability lately.

Despite this, in a home game in the quarterfinals, the city of wine believes that they will be able to qualify for the third semifinal in a row.



After a weak season opener, Nes Ziona managed to make a change in its roster and is in excellent momentum towards the quarterfinals.

Brad Greenberg's team has won its last five games in all competitions, in the league it manages to escape significantly from the last places.

Ness Ziona will announce in the evening who the player will not be registered for the quarterfinals, while Wayne Selden, who has been absent from the last two games due to illness, may play again.

The injured Nimrod Levy will continue to be absent, while center Uriel Troitsky, who joined Hapoel Holon on loan, will make his debut.
