The official announcement:

"The BKT EuroCup Regular Season Round 2 game Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv vs. Wolves Vilnius, which was scheduled to be played on October 11, and the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season Round 2 game EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, scheduled for October 12, have been suspended following the terror attacks and onset of armed conflict in Israel.

Euroleague Basketball is monitoring the situation and will evaluate with the affected teams the best possible options to reschedule the games based on available dates. Further information will be released when available.

Euroleague Basketball reiterates its firm commitment against all acts of violence and in favor of peace and will continue to use its voice to promote respect, inclusion, and diversity, values that sit at the core of the organization and its teams.

Euroleague Basketball wishes to express our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and all those affected by the ongoing tragedy."

Originally scheduled to depart on Wednesday for the Thursday game (October 12) in Milan, Maccabi contemplated an early departure.

However, consultations held on Sunday, considering the outgoing war and the ban on leaving Israel, led Maccabi to a different decision.

Walla Sport earlier reported that after discussions with the Ministry of Sports and other relevant entities, Maccabi opted to officially request a postponement of the game to the EuroLeague.

Regarding Hapoel, the team was scheduled to have a home game, but safety reasons prevented that from happening.
