Hapoel Tel Aviv wants to return to a positive balance in the Eurocup, and for that they must beat Hamburg Towers in the away game held tonight (Wednesday) in Germany, where the Reds arrived with a streak of two losses and a single win in the last four games in the European competition.
At least 600 fans will push Danny Franco’s team out of the stands, and on the floor the Hapoels will receive Jacob Brown in full fitness, after the guard participated for only five minutes in the victory over Hapoel Holon last Friday. Adam Ariel, who recovered from injury, is also back in the lineup, while the one who continues to be absent is interior player Jaylen Hurd.
Hamburg is on a streak of three losses in the Eurocup and six in all competitions. Its leading player is Yoali Childs, who is averaging 14 points and 8.2 rebounds so far.
