Stashed Celtics guard Yam Madar gets 17 points vs. Poland with Israel in EuroBasket play

Stashed Boston Celtics floor general Yam Madar had one of his best games yet in EuroBasket play for the Israeli National Team, but it was not enough to beat Poland.

Stashed Boston Celtics floor general Yam Madar had one of his best games yet in EuroBasket play for the Israeli National Team, but it was not enough to beat the Polish National Team, which won 85-76 on Monday.

The Beit Dagan native put up 17 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block in the loss. He shot 5-of-8 from the field overall, a sizzling 2-of-3 from beyond the arc and 5-of-5 from the charity stripe in slightly less than 21 minutes of floor time. Madar committed one turnover but no personal fouls for one of his most complete contests at this level.

Even so, Israel needed more than what Madar alone could provide. It fell to 2-1 in Group D play. Poland seized the top spot in the group with Israel second.

Stashed Boston Celtics guard Yam Madar gets 14 points, 3 assists vs. Netherlands w/ Israel

Madar helped the Israeli National Team defeat the Netherlands National Team 74-67 in EuroBasket play

Stashed Boston Celtics point guard Yam Madar helped the Israeli National Team defeat the Netherlands National Team 74-67 in EuroBasket play on Saturday afternoon. The Beit Dagan native put up a total of 14 points, 3 rebounds, as many assists, and a steal in just under 24 minutes of floor time.

The former No. 47 pick of the 2020 NBA draft for Boston turned the ball over 3 times, and picked up 2 personal fouls in the win, shooting a very solid 5-of-10 from the field, an equally-hot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc, and a much less impressive 4-of-8 from the free throw line to complete his production in the Group D game.

Madar elected to skip the 2022 Las Vegas Summer League to focus on getting ready for a season where he will be featured by Partizan NIS and the Israeli National Team’s participation in this year’s EuroBasket competition.

While it’s too soon to say how things will go with Madar’s Serbian league squad at present, the Israeli floor general looked good against the Netherlands, even hitting a dagger from mid-court at one point.

Stashed Boston Celtics point guard Yam Madar goes off for 27 points vs. Sweden in FIBA qualifier

Madar’s trey was looking especially crisp in the loss to their Scandinavian opponent.

Stashed Boston Celtics floor general Yam Madar went off in the Israeli National Team’s 95-83 loss to Sweden in FIBA World Cup qualifier play on Sunday.

The No. 47 pick in the 2020 NBA draft put together one of his best games ever in FIBA play: 27 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal in less than 29 minutes of play. The Beit Dagan native shot 7-of-12 from the field overall, a blistering 5-of-8 from beyond the arc, and 8-of-10 from the charity stripe in the loss, fouling twice and turning the ball over as many times.

It might not have ended with the result he wanted for Israel, but the Partizan NIS point guard is showing real progress as a player, which could translate to Madar finally making the leap to the NBA in the near future.

To see his game against Sweden in full, check out the highlights from the tilt in this video put together by FIBA.

Stashed Boston Celtics point guard Yam Madar, Israel have off night vs. Finland in Eurobasket play

Much of Madar’s woes stemmed from a rough shooting game, the Beit Dagan native going just 4-of-12 from the field overall.

Stashed Boston Celtics point guard Yam Madar had a bit of a tough outing with the Israeli National Team on Thursday, scoring 11 points, an assist, and 2 steals in 27 minutes of play against the Finnish National Team in EuroBasket play. But it wasn’t enough to overcome Cleveland Cavaliers big man Lauri Markkanen’s 28 points as Finland pulled off a 79-72 win.

Much of Madar’s woes stemmed from a rough shooting game, the Beit Dagan native going just 4-of-12 from the field overall, including only 2-of-6 from beyond the arc for the night, picking up 4 fouls and committing 3 turnovers to compound his woes against Finland.

It was an off night for Israel in general, with teammate and Washington Wizards wing Deni Avidja scoring just 8 points on 3-of-10 shooting overall, per Eurohoops. With the loss, the Israeli National Team (3-4) now finds themselves in fourth place in Group J, trailing Germany (6-1), Finland (6-1), and Slovenia (5-2) in that order.

Stashed Boston Celtics guard Yam Madar goes off for 18 points vs. Romanian National Team

Madar showed how his game has been growing abroad with a standout performance in an exhibition played against the Romanian national team.

Stashed Boston Celtics floor general Yam Madar skipped out on the 2K23 Las Vegas Summer League to focus on preparing for a major role with his Serbian league team Partizan NIS, and to play a major role for his Israeli National Team in FIBA qualifiers for the Eurobasket competition this fall.

Earlier this week, Madar showed how his game has been growing abroad with a standout performance in an exhibition played against the Romanian national team, with the Beit Dagan native putting up a total of 18 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and as many steals for good measure in the friendly.

12 Boston Celtics alumni participating in 2022 EuroBasket

The EuroBasket is back with one current Celtics player and 11 alumni.

A number of alumni from the Boston Celtics are planning to play in the 2022 EuroBasket competition, the first in five years due to the pandemic. Currently slated to start in two weeks with 34 total NBA players on 17 different teams, the EuroBasket competition — in full, the European Basketball Championship — normally takes place every four years with up to 24 teams participating.

Historically, it had previously run every two years, but now has switched to a similar model as the FIBA World Cup, and the last was held in 2017 before the pandemic, with conditions in 2021 deemed too fraught to hold the competition. But now the EuroBasket is back with one current Celtics player and 11 alumni.

Let’s take a look at them all.

Stashed Boston Celtics point guard Yam Madar shines vs. Auburn in exhibition with Israeli National Team

The Celtics’ Madar put up an impressive 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists in the win for Israel.

Stashed Boston Celtics point guard Yam Madar continues to hone his craft abroad. He is reportedly set to play a major role with European club Partizan NIS in Serbia this season. The Israeli floor general eschewed playing in the Las Vegas Summer League with the Celtics in July to focus on preparing for that campaign and the Israeli National team.

In a recent exhibition game against the Auburn’s men’s basketball program, Madar put on a show. He put up an impressive 24 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the 95-86 win for Israel. Auburn is playing three exhibition games in Israel this summer.

Check out his highlights in the clip embedded above, courtesy of the folks at the Bllen YouTube channel.

Stashed Celtics guard Yam Madar remaining overseas to spend another season with Partizan NIS in Euroleague

Preparing for a bigger role with Partizan NIS in the Euroleague over a slim shot via summer league is the right call for Madar’s future.

If you were wondering why stashed Boston Celtics point guard Yam Madar is not making the trip to Las Vegas Summer League, it isn’t because he has given up on making it to the NBA. Taken by Boston 47th in the 2020 NBA draft before being stashed with Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel and then Partizan NIS in Serbia, Madar was initially believed to be joining the team for summer league.

According to our sources, the Israeli floor general had to choose between a slim chance of making the Celtics’ regular roster via summer league or a chance to not only represent Israel’s national team this summer but also be featured as a main player for Partizan next season in the Euroleague.

Such an opportunity for Madar represents a major step forward in his development, and likely would see him get more burn and the growth that will come with it than had he elected to go to the US and ended up making Boston’s roster, which itself would have been unlikely.

It might not be the sexiest outcome for the Yamaniacs out there who still hold real estate on Madar island, but in terms of him actually honing his craft enough to successfully make the leap, such a move will allow the Beit Dagan native time to fully prepare for a major step in his development in the Euroleague.

And hopefully, his path to the NBA as well.

Report: Stashed 2020 Boston Celtics draft prospect Yam Madar to skip Las Vegas Summer League

The former No. 47 pick will instead play for the Israeli national team.

The Boston Celtics might have a little more room on their roster for this year’s Las Vegas Summer League exhibition series with Sports Rabbi reporting that Israeli point guard Yam Madar plans to remain overseas to participate in Israel National Team games taking on Poland and vs. Estonia this summer instead.

Drafted by the Celtics with the 47th pick of the 2020 NBA draft, Madar spent his first season after the draft with the Israeli club Hapoel Tel Aviv before participating in last year’s Las Vegas Summer League. The unexpected signing of point guard Dennis Schroder made a regular roster slot for Madar a non-starter, and it is possible that the Celtics drafting Alabama floor general JD Davison might have played a role in his decision to skip summer league this year.

No official confirmation from Madar as to the reason, but he has had a solid season with European club Partizan Belgrade, and may wish to continue honing his craft before trying to make the leap to the NBA again.

Boston assistant GM Austin Ainge reveals partial roster for Celtics’ 2022 Las Vegas Summer League squad

We now know at least some of the players headed to Sin City this July.

The Boston Celtics will field a team at the 2022 NBA Las Vegas Summer League, and the first of their four contests in the exhibition series is scheduled for July 9.

The Celtics will need to populate the roster of their summer league squad. Some of the players will be drawn from the team’s younger, more inexperienced ranks. Speaking with the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, assistant Celtics general manager Austin Ainge revealed the players currently on the roster who will participate in this year’s Celtics summer league team.

Aaron Nesmith is undecided whether he will take part and unselected 2022 NBA draft prospects will undoubtedly be added to the roster, but let’s take a look at who we know will play for Boston in Las Vegas in July.
