Knicks: Luca Vildoza likely to play in Summer League as Argentina nears elimination

As Argentina’s Olympics medal hopes fade, the chances of Luca Vildoza getting summer reps with the New York Knicks are increasing.

Argentina dropped its second straight game, an 81-71 loss to Spain on Thursday in a rematch of the 2019 FIBA World Cup Finals.

The loss put the Argentines in a precarious situation. They have to win big against host Japan in their final group stage game and hope they end up with one of the top two third-place records.

Vildoza didn’t start against Spain but played the bulk of his minutes in the second half.
