Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv is set to play without its most productive player as Jaylen Hoard is set to be sidelined with a torn hamstring, the club announced Wednesday. Hoard suffered the injury in a domestic league game over the weekend, and an MRI scan reveled the extent of the injury which is expected to force Hoard to miss two to four weeks.
Hoard, starting in 21 games while playing in his first Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season, is Maccabi’s top scorer (15.0 ppg.) and rebounder (5.1 rpg.), and is also leading the team in steals (1.3 spg.). He ranks fourth in steals this season, and his average PIR of 18.1 is good for 11th place after 23 rounds.
Maccabi will face ALBA Berlin on Thursday without Hoard, and will be without him when it visits FC Barcelona and Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz next week before the February international break.
