Being one of the only three teams that have yet to lose, Hapoel Tel Aviv meets Turk Telecom Ankara this evening (Wednesday) for a difficult game with the goal of improving to a 0:3 balance that will leave them at the head of Group B.
Before the game, Danny Franco received encouraging news from the direction of Jacob Brown, who was absent from the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv due to an ankle sprain. The center, who was selected as the outstanding player of the previous cycle at the factory, is still not 100 percent fit, but feels better and will try to play.
So far, Hapoel Tel Aviv has managed easily both against the London Lions, which they beat 59:76 in the opening round, and against Paris Basket, which they beat 86:100 last week. At the same time, the Turkish rival in the ranks of Ex Hapoel Tel Aviv, Tyreek Jones, surrendered in the first round to Paris 90:75 and scored 83:88 over Hamburg in the last round.
