The current two-time national champions Leones de Santo Domingo announced that the two-time most valuable player in final series, Juan Guerrero and the stellar shooter Eddy Polanco will join the pack for the semifinal of the LNB Super League 2023.
Both will be on the court from this Monday, July 10, at night, when the best-of-five series begins at Fernando Teruel de La Vega.
