The latter player recovered from a partial tear to his MCL. Hilliard sustained a knee injury in a domestic game on October 9.

"He [Darrun Hilliard] should get minutes, as much as needed. Of course, he is not at the peak of his form. I don't know how many minutes in a row he will be able to play. But he is completely fit," coach Oded Kattash told Maccabi's official website before EuroLeague Round 6 duel.

Hilliard managed to play a single EuroLeague game with a Maccabi jersey this season. He scored 8 points, grabbed 2 rebounds, and collected 7 PIR in the Round 1 win against Zalgiris Kaunas.

Despite the return of Hilliard, Maccabi will not be able to count on all their players.

According to Moses Barda, the Israeli powerhouse will be missing Jarrel Martin at Baskonia.

Maccabi started the 2022-23 EuroLeague season with four wins and one loss. They rank second in the standings.
