In the third round of the second phase of the South American Basketball League, Corinthians faces Defensor Sporting from Uruguay in a decisive game for a spot in the semifinals. The game tips off at León Coundou Gymnasium in Asunción-PAR at 16:40 (Brasília time).

After being defeated in the opener and winning the second match, the team led by Jece Leite needs to win a second consecutive game to advance. Since both teams have the same score, the winner secures a spot in the semifinals, also known as the Final Four.

Probable lineup

Despite the marathon of games this weekend, the coaching staff is unlikely to forgo the starting lineup. Thus, the quintet is expected to be formed by Elinho, Elyjah Clark, Davaunta Thomas (Munford), Victão, and Gabriel Novaes.

Broadcast

Like the other five games of the competition, the broadcast with images will be available on FIBA's YouTube channel, the International Basketball Federation. The transmission starts at the same time as the game.

Next commitment

After playing the last qualifying match, Corinthians returns to Brazil and shifts focus to the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB). The People's Team faces Pato Basquete next Wednesday (19th) at Wlamir Marques Gymnasium at 20:00.
