Summary: Real Madrid - Braugen 65:90 (Sport 1)

Last night (Sunday), Maccabi Haifa in basketball ended its season in the national basketball league with a loss in the playoff quarterfinal series for Nahariya 3: 1.

The Greens took off this morning for Sofia ahead of their Balkan League games where they will meet local Levski for the series on entering the Final Four of the factory.

But what accompanied Haifa's departure to Sofia is an illusory farce.

The team's inside player Tony Mitchell, who was returned to Haifa specifically to play in the Balkan league, informed the club's leaders in recent days that his passport was not in his possession after and transferred it to a dealer from whom he purchased according to certain sources in Haifa Grass.

The hallucinatory farce.

Mitchell himself has already gotten into trouble since arriving in Israel last month in a number of incidents in the city, when he refused to pay in places where he received service, and in Haifa they gave up on his behavior.

At the same time, the club refused to purchase Mitchell's passport back from the same dealer.

By the way without Mitchell's passport he can not go to games in the Balkan League nor return to the United States.

The team's general manager Roi Schwatz told Walla! Sport in response to the news that: "The team does not refer to events or the player's actions in his private time and that are not part of the team's activities."

Mitchell (30, 2.01) played two years at the University of North Texas before being selected 37th in the NBA Draft by Detroit and managed to play 21 games in the Pistons uniform.

Since then the actor has embarked on a journey in a number of places around the world, with stories about his problematic character haunting him everywhere.

In August 2016, he signed with Maccabi Haifa, was part of the team's bad season and was finally released after 17 games.

He continued in the leagues in the Philippines and the Dominicans before returning to Israel, this time to Gilboa / Galil, but was released without playing.

Most recently played in the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Taiwan.
