Luis Cequeira (born February 4, 1985 in Resistencia, Chaco, Argentina) is an Argentine professional basketball player. He plays point guard professionally for Argentinian side Obras Sanitarias and is also a member of the Argentine national basketball team.[1]

Pro career

Cequeira began his professional career in the Argentine League with Quilmes Mar del Plata during the 2001-02 season. He has since competed on four other teams while spending his career in the Argentine league. In the 2006–07 season, he helped Boca Juniors win the league title while being named League Sixth Man of the Year.[2] Cequeira has competed in the Liga Sudamericana, the top international competition for South American basketball clubs, on three different occasions - 2006, 2008, and 2009.

After spending the 2009–10 season with Juventud Sionista, Cequeira signed a one-year deal with fellow Argentine side Obras Sanitarias on May 19, 2010.[3]

Argentine national team

Cequeira is also a member of the senior men's Argentine national basketball team. He made his debut with the senior Argentine national team in 2007 at the 2007 Pan American Games. He later participated at the 2008 and 2010 South American Championship, helping the team to a gold medal in 2008 and a silver medal in 2010.[4]

In 2010, Cequeira was named to Argentina's 2010 FIBA World Championship squad – his first major international tournament – when long-time point guard Juan Pablo Cantero withdrew with a torn hamstring.[5]
