The great absentees of the Argentine basketball team for the last double date of the Qualifiers
From the payroll that was first provided, the forward of Santiago was knownor Gabriel Deck (Real Madrid, Spain), the point guard from Mar del Plata Luca Vildoza (Red Star, Serbia) and the Buenos Aires escort Nicholas Laprovittola (Barcelona,Spain) will not be part of the game, as their respective teams will continue to be affected, holding Euroleague matches this week.
The opposite is the case with Campazzo, who will join tomorrow’s training sessions, due to the fact that the player is not qualified in the records of the European continental organization, from a penalty imposed on the institution of Belgrade for financial irregularities in contracts.
Another favorable situation that DT Prigioni, 45, has is the fact that Bolmaro was cut last week by the NBA’s Utah Jazz. That situation opened the doors for Cordovan to join the albiceleste group. If he continues with the Salt Lake City franchise, that possibility is non-existent.
