The eighth round of the Premier League in basketball continues tonight (Saturday) in Jerusalem, with the local team Hapoel Jerusalem hosting newcomer Kiryat Ata.
Jerusalem comes into the game with five wins and two losses, while Kiryat Ata has won three games and lost four.
The host's great winning streak continued this week as well with a great victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv at Hichal Menorah and an important home victory over the Danish Bakken Bears in the Champions League.
However, the good times and the positive mood were destroyed with the injury of Noam Doberat, which ended the season, with the ill Speedy Smith also absent.
The one who returned to the squad tonight, for the first time in a month, is Oz Blaser, who returned from injury.
Brandon Brown registers for the first time this season and makes his debut.
On the other hand, two important home victories over Hapoel Haifa and Hapoel Gilboa/Galil jumped Kiryat Ata above the last place and brought it closer to the center of the table, but like Hapoel Jerusalem, Kiryat Ata also experienced great misfortune.
Guard Michael Brisker, who joined the team after the start of the season, is suffering from a hip injury.
Looking for another win.
