Champion Hapoel Holon opened the Winner's Cup last night (Wednesday) with a 79:91 victory over Hapoel Galil Alyion, in what was the Purples' first victory of the season after not winning in the preseason.
However, the victory was clouded by the injury of CJ Harris.
As I recall, the alarming incident took place last night (Wednesday) during the quarter-finals of the Winner Cup between Hapoel Holon and Hapoel Galil Alyon.
Purple guard CJ Harris, who slipped on the parquet sticker, was injured and taken to the hospital for an MRI.
The player had difficulty stepping on his feet and appeared to be in severe pain when he got off the floor, when there is a fear that the tests will reveal an injury to his knee and groin, something the club is afraid of.

Following the injury of the Hapoel Holon guard, representatives of several teams expressed their concern to "Israel Today" about the continuation of the games in the new "Enrbox" hall in Hadera, and expect that a solution to the sticker issue will be found soon.
The coach of Hapoel Haifa, Guy Goodes, commented on Harris' injury: "I didn't see what happened and if it was because of the stickers, but players get injured from these things and these are things that need to be checked.
If the injury is serious, it is very bad for him because Harris is a significant player.'
The response of the league director: "The league director conducted comprehensive tests this summer together with the standards institute in all the league halls and a large part of the halls underwent parquet sanding following the inspection.
Also, together with the Standards Institute, tests were conducted for the stickers and, as in every season, only stickers that met the standard and did not pose a risk to the players' health were affixed.
Unfortunately, slips happen as part of the game and every injury hurts."
