Another injury at Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. At the beginning of the last quarter of the Winner league Cup final against Maccabi Ramat Gan, Tamir Blatt was injured and had to go down to the locker room for treatment.

Blatt, who returned only a week ago from a thigh injury, suffered a bruised knee and not a more serious injury - but the expected time of absence is between 3 and 4 weeks, the club announced. Besides, in the previous MRI no damage to the ligaments or cartilage was found. The Israeli guard had difficulty walking and was accompanied by one of the staff for treatment. He was treated with ice. 

"I hope it's not too serious," Oded Kattash commented on Blatt's condition after the game. "It reminds me a bit of what happened to Wenyen Gabriel. This is Tamir's second injury of the season, it's unfortunate," the Israeli coach said.
