Dairis Bertrans, 33 and brother of Oklahoma City strong winger Davis Bertrans (also present at the World Cup), was his team’s top scorer (20 pts including 6/7 at long distance) in the opening against Lebanon (109-70).

He suffered the injury in the second quarter against France, which Latvia eliminated on Sunday to achieve the sensation of the first round.

The Latvians, already qualified for the second round of the World Cup, face Canada on Tuesday for first place in Group H.
