Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv could be without point guard Yam Madar to open the EuroLeague season with the latter scheduled to undergo an operation to have his appendix removed. The club announced on Wednesday that Madar has an infected appendix and that he will need a surgical procedure to remove it.
Though the operation is a relatively minor one, he is unlikely to be back in shape for the opening week of EuroLeague games – against FC Barcelona and Anadolu Efes Istanbul. A more realistic target date should be the Round 3 fixture against fellow Israeli club Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv on October 8.
Madar, 24, has three seasons of EuroLeague experience with Partizan Belgrade, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul and FC Bayern Munich. He played a key role in Hapoel winning the BKT EuroCup last season.
