Argentina’s men’s basketball team, the last team other than the U.S. to win Olympic gold, will miss the Olympics for the first time since 2000.
A Bahamas team with Deandre Ayton, Eric Gordon and Buddy Hield beat host Argentina 82-75 in a pre-2024 Olympic qualifying tournament final.
The Bahamas advances to one of four, last-chance, winner-take-all Olympic qualifying tournaments next year, likely in June.
Argentina, ranked fourth in the world, was eliminated from Olympic qualifying.
Its loss came six months after Argentina failed . . .
