"I don't know yet. I really hope so. But probably we'll get the answer tomorrow," interim head coach Avi Even toldBasketNews.

Sfairopoulos was forced to miss the last EuroLeague game vs. Zalgiris Kaunas due to COVID-19.

Even, the head of scouting and player development, took over Maccabi for the EuroLeague Round 24 and last Israeli Championship game.

He led Maccabi to victories against Holon Hapoel (80-79) and Zalgiris Kaunas (94-78).

"We fought in a very tough fight against a very good well-coached team. I’m happy we managed to upgrade our defense in the second half. I think that led us to some easy baskets and helped us to win the game," Even said after the win in Kaunas.

54-year-old Sfairopoulos was tested positive for COVID-19 on January 28.

Maccabi will play FC Bayern in Munich on February 3.
