The Jamaican National team begins play today against the Dominican Republic but is without three of their best players, Samardo Samuels (on Bull's summer league roster), Tulsa's Jerome Jordan, and Patrick Ewing, Jr (also playing in NBA summer leagues).

Roy Hibbert hurt his knee and is out likely for the rest of the tourney--

This might mean more playing time for ex-Brave Faulknor..they play today @ 3PM
