“We want to add players, the market is too hard and closed because of the NBA and the coronavirus there, which causes the teams to give temporary contracts to the players. There are not a lot of free players, it is difficult to find a good player to bring here, I do not want to take players just to take them, but we are in the market ”, commented the Greek coach. the situation is weakened by the results.

Maccabi will be in Monaco on Wednesday, which is also having a bad time in the Euroleague (7 defeats in 8 games).
