THE SIDELINES : Cut Sidelines Henefeld in Israel
Former University of Connecticut basketball player Nadav Henefeld was injured Sunday during his first practice game in Israel.
Henefeld, playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv, made his first appearance against Maccabi Haifa in the Israeli League. After making a foul shot, he collided with an opposing player and suffered a gash between his thumb and forefinger that required eight stitches.
He is expected to be out about 10 days and will not accompany the team on an upcoming trip to Greece.
Henefeld was a starting forward on the Connecticut team that reached the NCAA East Regional final last season.
