Cagliari native Dario Zucca, who grew up in the Esperia youth system, is also among the players called up to the Italian national 3x3 basketball team for the World Cup Qualifier in Singapore.
Born in 1996, Zucca is having a more than positive season with Fulgor Fidenza in the National Serie B, where he is averaging 18 points and 5 rebounds.
Italy has been drawn in Group B along with Egypt and New Zealand : the matches are scheduled for April 11, with the finals the following day. Three World Cup spots are up for grabs: the winners of the semifinals will qualify directly, while the losers will compete for the last available slot.
For Zucca, this is a return to the national team after his experiences last summer, when he was a key figure in the qualification process for the European Cup.
