Summary of LeBloia's victory with Tomer Ginat over Venice in the EuroCup (Sport1)
Tomer Ginat will face a situation he did not know before tomorrow (Wednesday, 21:30): The Israeli forward will have to go up and play on the eve of Holocaust Martyrs 'and Heroes' Remembrance Day, when he will host Metropolitan Valencia in Valencia in the EuroCup quarterfinals.
Ginat asked to appear with a black ribbon on the lapel of his tank top, to express his symbolic identification with the six million Jewish victims, but was refused.
He forwarded his application through the club management, and the reason given in the response was that adding a uniform element would only be possible if the whole team appeared as one man.
According to the Eurocup's response, the regulations say that players are not allowed to make such changes on their own, for fear of reaching a situation where each of them will choose to express identification with their own goal - no matter how high.
It was made clear to Ginat that he would be able to come up with a black ribbon just for pre-game warm-ups.

In the past, the heads of the Euroleague considered the days of remembrance in Israel, and the final game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Panathinaikos in 2011 was brought forward to 16:30 in Barcelona, so that it would end before the day of Remembrance Day.
Tonight and tomorrow, the four finalists will be determined on the field.
However, who stunned Badalona in the quarter-finals will be hosted by Virtus Bologna - while Bursaspor hope to continue their dream journey, playing in Ljubljana after the sensational victory over Partizan Belgrade last week.
Gran Canaria will host Andorra in the extra game.
Ginat (27, 2.05), who is in his second season in the Metropolitan, averages 9.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and a 12.6 index in the European arena.
In the quarterfinals, the French defeated Venice, and their Israeli player scored eight.
