Watch: the moment of Jacob Brown's injury (Sport 1)
After three consecutive losses in the Eurocup and rising to first place in the Premier League table, tonight (Tuesday) Hapoel Tel Aviv is looking to get back on track in the European framework as well and hosts the Polish team Shalonsk Wrzolab at the Shlomo Hall.
The Reds come to the game from the seventh place in Group B with three wins and four losses, while the Polish opponent is ranked last at home with no wins.
The team feels a trend of improvement in the connection between the players since Chinano Onuaku joined, and hope that together with the return of at least one of Jordan McRae or Jaylen Hurd, they will be able to present a quality game.
The team's captain, Bar Timur, was not included in the Reds' squad after injuring his quadriceps muscle in the final training session, and he should be back in action in the coming days.
On the other hand, the opponent has lost all its games so far in the Eurocup, but in the Polish league it is perfect after 11 games.
The big star of the team is center Jeremiah Martin who scores 14.7 points and gives 4.6 assists per game.
Will they return to win in Europe?
