🇨🇩-🇨🇲 Jonathan Kuminga produces a solid 18+6 performance, but the slow start of the Democratic Republic of Congo (5-21 after 1Q) conditiones the game, with Cameroon winning 69-71 despite the hosts' attempt to come back. Paris Lee debuts with 15 points.
🇦🇴-🇺🇬 Angola proves to be a true team beating Uganda 84-62 with conviction, despite Ishmail Wainright (16+8) being on the court. Excellent collective test, with Gerson Goncalves and Bruno Fernandes (31 points in two) particularly in great shape.

🇮🇹 Danilo Gallinari left the court in the 4Q of Italy-Georgia due to what seems a really serious left knee injury. One of the worst news possible for the Azzurri.
🇮🇹 UPDATE: By Gianmarco Pozzecco's words, head coach of Italy, the feeling is that Danilo Gallinari tore his left cruciate ligaments. Nothing official yet. "I hope and I pray that nothing bad will come out. It was... it is an honor coaching him. I saw pain in his eyes", he said.
🇮🇹 UPDATE: As said by Italy's team doctor, it looks like Danilo Gallinari's left knee ligament, the one already operated, has held. Gallinari’s having an MRI tomorrow.

🇮🇹-🇬🇪 Peppe Poeta ai microfoni di @ElevenSportsIT all'intervallo: "Melli copre tutti i buchi dietro, ennesima partita eccellente come Fontecchio. Prevedibile soffrire Bitadze e Shermadini". #OTAzzurri
