Fans of the Boston Celtics are steeling themselves for their first stateside taste of stashed 2020 draft prospect Yam Madar. His arrival in the U.S. has been a much-anticipated event picking up momentum as Madar continued to take steps forward with Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Israeli Premier Basketball League in 2020-21.
He has been covered closely by media outlets in his home country of Israel, particularly Sports Rabbi, whose Moshe Halickman most recently broke the news of Madar’s arbitration case loss and need for a buyout to join the Celtics this season.
Halickman recently penned a new piece highlighting the views of stateside writers who cover Boston for his home audience (including the author of this piece) to shed some light on how Madar is being seen in the U.S.
