Yam Madar has decided to play with the Israeli team in the two most important games in the World Cup qualifiers against Poland and Estonia next week, and will not be in the NBA summer league.
The Boston Celtics have been under a lot of pressure lately on the talented Israeli coordinator to come and lead their team in the games in Las Vegas, and Madar even received permission from the team to be absent from the second game against Estonia, but recently decided to stay with the team for both games and give up the summer league.

The 21-year-old Madar finished a good first season in a Belgrade partisan uniform with Zeljko Oberdovic, and apart from the important tasks that await him with the team in the coming months, he wants to take advantage of the summer to get ready for the intriguing Euroleague season ahead of him with the Serbian team.
The player participated today (Friday) in the training game of the Israeli team that defeated the reserve team 66:89 and finished with the second plus-minus in the team, 19+, along with a good defensive game.
The team won easily, despite the absence of Tamir Blatt and Yuval Sussman, players of German champions Alba Berlin who were given a rest.
John Dibertolomeo also did not play, as he landed only today.
Scores for seniors: Nimrod Levy 17, Rafi Manko 15, Roman Sorkin 13, Bar Timor 12, Yiftach Ziv 11.
Many scored for the reserve, in which Noam Dovrat was appointed captain: Gilad Levy 16, Roi Paritzky 10, Rinsky 8.
