San Isidro clinches semifinal lead in Argentine basketball; municipal teams get new funding

San Isidro beat La Unión 68-51 to take a 2-0 edge in the semifinals of the Liga Argentina de Básquet. The victory, highlighted by strong performances from Marcos Saglietti, Nahuel Buchaillot and Luciano Ortiz, puts the San Francisco club one win away from the league final, with a third game scheduled for Thursday in Colón.

In a separate development, Argentine deputy José Luis Rodríguez of the Partido Revolucionario Moderno delivered financial contributions to the four clubs participating in the 2026 Municipal Basketball Tournament in Castillo. The funds were handed over at the José Luis Martínez Sports Center, bolstering the local competition.

Both events underscore ongoing investment and competition within Argentine basketball, from the professional league to municipal-level play.
