The Argentinian national team will play a do-or-die game against the Dominican Republic in the 2023 FIBA World Cup Americas Qualifiers Sunday night.

With Facundo Campazzo on the roster already, the squad will welcome two players from the EuroLeague.

The Argentinian Basketball Federation has announced that Gabriel Deck and Nicolas Laprovittola will join the roster and battle against the Dominican Republic in front of the home crowd.

Team: Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade
Position: PG
Age: 31
Height: 179 cm

Coached by Pablo Prigioni, Argentina is currently in fourth place in Group E of the Second Round. Venezuela and the Dominican Republic have the same amount of wins as Argentina but both teams have better head-to-head results than Argentina.

If Argentina wins the matchup, the team qualifies for the upcoming World Cup. If they lose, all eyes will then go to the other group.

The top three teams from each group qualify for the World Cup as well as the best fourth team. In case Argentina loses, they can only hope to advance as the best fourth team.
