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.
