The Israel men’s national basketball team will play the Czech Republic on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. ET in Group D of EuroBasket 2022.
In their last game, Israel lost to Serbia, 89-78 with Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija scoring 14 points. The outcome was not unexpected considering that Serbia was the favorite in Group D from the beginning. While Israel is currently 2-2 in group play, their loss to Poland put a dent in guaranteeing their hopes for a Top 16 berth.
That said, the Israelis can punch their ticket to the knockout round, but it will be against the home team, who are led by none other than former Wizards point guard Tomas Satoransky.
