According to Tomer Givati from Israel Hayom, Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv are expected to play a friendly game against the Brooklyn Nets in the upcoming pre-season.

It was a wish by the club's owner, Ofer Yanai, ever since he joined the organization, Givati notes. Holding a series of exhibition games in the US is seen as a way to strengthen the ties with the local Jewish community.

With New York having one of the biggest Jewish communities in the US, it was a straightforward choice.

The game will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The exact date of the game is currently unclear.

The Nets are currently 11th in the Eastern Conference with 26 wins and 46 losses. Meanwhile, Hapoel ended their international season in the EuroCup after the quarterfinal stage following a loss against Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul.
