Brooklyn Nets, Maccabi Ra'anana NBA preseason game turns into … – Haaretz
After the massacre of Israeli civilians committed Saturday by Hamas, nothing linked to Israel could be the same anymore – including a routine basketball game between Israeli teams and NBA opponents in the U.S. on Thursday
Pre-season games between Israeli teams and NBA opponents have become commonplace. Jewish-American businessman Jeff Rosen, who has been involved in Israeli basketball since 2007, was the owner of Maccabi Haifa until 2021, and now serves as the main sponsor of Maccabi Ra’anana of the National League. Almost every year, his teams fly to the United States to get a taste of the best league in the world.
