The Maccabi Tel Aviv Euroleague season will continue tomorrow (Thursday, 21:30, live broadcast on Sport 5) when the Yellows play an away game against Bayern Munich in an Audi Dom.
Maccabi comes into the game with a balance of 10 wins against 13 losses, knowing that any loss may be the one that will end its chances of promotion to the playoffs, and against Bayern Munich, the surprise of the season in the Euroleague, with 15 wins and 10 losses.
The Yellows come into the game after two home victories in the league over Bnei Herzliya and Nahariya, both of which did not share Scotty Wilbkin and Othello Hunter.
The Yellows' center is suffering from a finger injury to his hand, but should play even if he is not fully fit, while the chin has suffered from an illness and the club hopes he can play as well.
Another person who will go out with the team to Munich is Omri Caspi, who has not played recently due to a stomach virus, and although he is not supposed to be part of the squad, is expected to get dressed again in the league game against Hapoel Eilat this coming Saturday.

Yannis Sapropoulos said ahead of the game against Bayern: "From now on every game will be like a final. Every game is very important. We have a chance and as long as we have a chance we will fight to the end. We will have to bring energy from the league to Euroleague games. "We did in the league, the players will have energy in this game."
On the rotations in the league: "It was not easy, but we had to keep everyone fresh. Othello and Hunter suffered minor injuries and I kept them. In most cases we do rotations to keep them as fresh as possible. We had a period of games only in the league because of the postponement of the games against "It was not good for us. Because we came to the game against Milan after a long break. Now we do not have this problem, I know we played twice in the league in between and our rivals had no games."
On Jaylen Reynolds, who excels at Bayern Munich and was unsuccessful at Maccabi Tel Aviv: "Jaylen helps them a lot, he gives them energy from the bench. We need to focus on him, but not only on him. Bayern have a lot of experienced players like Lucic "Baldwin and others. We have to be prepared and disrupt the game for them."
His excellent season at Bayern Munich.
