The Shock Didn't Help: Holon Keep Struggling, Brenner Leading Candidate

In depth

Hapoel Holon said Rivaldo Soares has ended his time with the club. The suspended player was asked to find a new team, and the club released him. The 26-year-old forward, 2.01 meters tall, is averaging 7.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season, and he is now in negotiations with a team in Israel and may remain in the top league.

Meanwhile, Harris is suffering a ligament tear and is expected to be out for two to three months, and his availability for tonight's game is still in doubt. The Purples are preparing for their BCL game against Vechta, and the club is in talks with new coaches.

The Purples lost to Vechta even after parting ways with Kronitch, and are speeding up their search for a permanent coach. Shahar Amir said: "We are very short." In the background are Ravitz's departure, pressure from the stands and a squad suffering from injuries, and on the horizon is a charged meeting with Guy Goods.
