After a red-hot stretch in the Summer League, second-year guard Lester Quinones stayed hot during an appearance with the Dominican Republic international basketball team.
Quinones is set to play for the Dominican Republic for the upcoming FIBA World Cup. Prior to the Dominican Republic’s first contest in the World Cup, they played a tune-up game against the Memphis Tigers, Quinones’ alma mater.
The former G League Most Improved Player picked up right where he left off, scoring 30 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field with six made triples to go along with four assists as the Dominican Republic cruised to a 91-84 over Penny Hardaway and the Tigers.
