Against Umana Reyer Venice, Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem was missing the top scorer (22.0 ppg.) and sixth-best assist contributor (5.7 apg.) of the 2024-25 BKT EuroCup season in Jared Harper. After being named Round 6 MVP, Harper was one of the five Jerusalem players to miss out on Wednesday’s duel along with Nimrod Levi, Austin Wiley, Justin Smith and Kenneth Smith. Yet, no Harper, no problem for the Israeli side that saw three other guards, Khadeen Carrington, Noam Dovrat and Or Cornelius, come to the fore to claim a 94-66 victory over Reyer.
Two of the aforementioned players recorded career-highs in scoring, with Dovrat ending the game with 17 points and Cornelius adding 14. In fact, the two men combined for 31 points after having netted just 13 in total in the first six rounds. Dovrat also bagged 5 rebounds and 4 assists, while Cornelius had 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 5 fouls drawn.
“I told the guys in the locker room before the game that there was too much talking about the guys who are not here,” Jerusalem head coach Yonatan Alon said after the game. “But I want to focus on the guys who are here, because they have a lot in them, more than what we saw. And they need to push each other. They did it and they were amazing.”
Carrington chipped in with 16 points, but the player who produced the most complete performance for the hosts was Jeremy Morgan. The Jerusalem forward ended the game with 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 6 fouls drawn for a season-high PIR of 27.

Magic Moment: O'Connell flies high to cap fastbreak!
“It was a good team effort,” Morgan noted. “We needed everybody tonight. We were a little short on players and that just shows everybody’s true character in this team and the way we want to play.”
Despite missing those players, Jerusalem pulled off its finest outing at Samokov Arena this season to ruin opposition head coach Neven Spahija’s 62nd birthday by recording its second home victory.
Coming up next is another home clash next week, this time against a strong Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse. Yet, Jerusalem proved on Wednesday that its next-man-up mindset can take it deep into the competition regardless of potential absences of key players.
