Overview

• Argentina lost 84-83 to the Dominican Republic in overtime in Managua, and a postgame on-court fight was captured on widely shared video.
• Gonzalo Bressan was suspended for two games, while Francisco Cáffaro and Juan Pablo Vaulet received one game each, ruling all three out of the Colombia fixture.
• Pablo Prigioni was fined 2,000 Swiss francs (about US$2,500) and the Argentine federation was fined 20,000 Swiss francs, with 10,000 suspended on a three‑year probation.
• Dominican sanctions included a two‑game ban for David Jones, one game for Juan Guerrero and Juan Suero, a probationary one‑game suspension for Ángel Delgado, and a federation fine similar to Argentina’s.
• Reports and images pointed to a provocation involving David Jones before the melee, but FIBA penalized both teams as Argentina’s defending champions now face added pressure to qualify.
