Overview

• FIBA’s disciplinary panel suspended Gonzalo Bressan for two games and Francisco Cáffaro and Juan Pablo Vaulet for one game each, fined coach Pablo Prigioni $2,500, and penalized the Argentine federation $25,000 with half held in abeyance for three years.
• Sanctions also hit the Dominican Republic, with David Jones banned for two FIBA games, Juan Guerrero and Juan Suero for one each, Ángel Delgado on a one‑game probation, and the Dominican federation fined on terms similar to Argentina’s.
• Playing with a shortened rotation, Argentina beat Colombia 84-83 in Managua, sealed by Nicolás Brussino’s last‑second tip after Juan Fernández posted 36 points and 16 rebounds.
• The disciplinary action followed the Dominican Republic’s 84-83 overtime win over Argentina and a widely shared postgame brawl involving players and staff from both teams.
• Argentina secured a place in the quarterfinals, with Cáffaro and Vaulet eligible to return for the next game while Bressan must serve one more match of his suspension; the opponent will be determined by remaining group outcomes.
