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.
