During Argentina's semi-final win against Chile (87-79) in the Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament, a health concern arose involving Luca Vildoza.

Panathinaikos guard entered the semis, but after just two minutes, he had to leave the court due to a leg problem. Following the incident, the 28-year-old player received immediate medical attention in the locker room.

During the second half of the game, he sat on the bench in a supportive manner.

According to Argentine reports, Vildoza experienced a spasm in his left adductor, forcing him to be sidelined for the remainder of the match.

Looking ahead, Vildoza's involvement in the tournament final becomes highly uncertain due to his condition. This has also raised concerns for Panathinaikos.

Argentina will meet the Bahamas for the ticket to the next year's FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament on Sunday night.

Led by Deandre Ayton, Eric Gordon, and Buddy Hield, the Bahamas defeated Argentina in the group stage (101-89).
