Paraguay's basketball league begins second round with key matchups

The National Basketball League (LNB) in Paraguay kicks off its second round of the Clausura tournament on Monday with three games. The league, which began its Clausura phase last week with victories for San José, Olimpia, Colonias Gold, and San Alfonzo, is set for more action as teams vie for dominance.

This Monday's schedule features a highly anticipated clash between Deportivo Amambay and the reigning champions, Deportivo San José. Amambay narrowly lost to Kings by just 5 points in their previous outing, suggesting a competitive match against San José. The game will also mark the debut of Jemal Davis, an American power forward with NCAA experience, for Águilas del Norte.

Another promising game will see Colonias Gold host Olimpia Kings in Obligado. Both teams are aiming for their second consecutive win in the tournament. Meanwhile, Deportivo Campoalto and Capiatá Bulls, the tournament's newcomers, will face off, with both teams seeking their first victory.

The second round will conclude on Tuesday with a matchup between Félix Pérez Cardozo and San Alfonso de Minga Guazú. Félix Pérez Cardozo suffered a loss in their opening game against Gold, making this a crucial opportunity to secure points.
