Bruno Caboclo had 16 points, Brazil Routs Iran 100-59 in 2023 FIBA World Cup Opener
In Jakarta, former NBA player Raul Neto’s World Cup campaign is in doubt after being stretchered off with a leg injury to sour Brazil’s opening victory. Neto collapsed to the court in the third quarter after slipping in transition.
Several of his teammates were in tears and the incident stopped play for several minutes.
Neto, who had eight points and five steals, recently signed with Turkish club Fenerbahce after eight seasons in the NBA.
Former NBA player Bruno Caboclo had 16 points for Brazil, which led 33-12 after the first quarter. Matin Aghajanpour led Iran with 11 points.
Brazil plays defending champions Spain on Monday and Iran faces Ivory Coast.
