Argentina's Scola cleared for Turkey match (fiba.com) Updated: 2006-08-29 10:22 SAITAMA (FIBA World
Championship) - Argentina centre Luis Scola has been given the all-clear to face
Turkey in Monday's FIBA World Championship quarter-final after suffering a blow
to the mouth against New Zealand.
Scola clashed with Tall Blacks Pero Cameron in the last 16 tie and broke two
teeth but national team doctor Diego Grippo confirmed he will be available to
face Turkey.
"He will not have any problems to continue in the tournament," Grippo told
the Argentinian Basketball Confederation's official website.
"However he will have to undergo some other repairs when the championship
finishes."
Scola, who was taken to hospital in Saitama after the game, added: "I had
already experienced this, they are common in the game. I'll have to spend a long
time with the dentist and play the rest of the tournament with
protection."
