Following his recovery, Hoard felt pain in the hamstring muscle in his right leg. He was tested and diagnosed with a torn muscle, and that the forward will undergo another MRI scan in two weeks.

Hoard, one of Maccabi Tel Aviv's key players, averaged 13.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.1 steals in 26.1 minutes per game in the Israeli Premier League this season, along with 15 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.3 steals in 31:03 minutes per game in the EuroLeague.

Maccabi have a streak of four wins in all competitions, their longest of the season, and are coming off a good momentum after surprising Fenerbahce on Thursday despite playing with a shortened roster.
