The Dominican national basketball team could miss the Caribbean Championships that are being held in Caguas, Puerto Rico, because a handful of players don't have visas to travel to the United States. Frank Herasme, head of the Dominican Basketball Federation (FEDOMBAL) says that he had asked the US Embassy in the DR to receive the players but was informed that they wouldn't have their visa appointments until October. Jack Michael Martinez, Manuel Guzman, Andy Turner Williams, Manuel Fortuna and Henry Lalane are among the players affected by this situation. The tournament will be held between the 5th and 12th of August and the top four finishers will have a spot in the 2008 CentroBasket tournament.
