Agustín Jara returns to Salta Basket after epic series against Atenas de Córdoba
Guard Agustín Jara, who nearly eliminated Atenas de Córdoba in one of the most memorable series in the Liga Argentina, returns to Salta Basket for the 2026/27 season. The 1.84-meter-tall player from Villa Ángela, Chaco, was a key figure in the 2023/24 campaign, where his team was minutes away from advancing in the playoffs.
Why is Jara a key reinforcement for Salta Basket?
Jara had already proven his quality in his two previous stints with Los Infernales, being considered one of the best players in the Liga Argentina. After spending two seasons in the Liga Nacional de Básquet (LNB) with Independiente de Oliva and Platense, his return strengthens a project aiming to compete for top positions. "It's a project that aims to compete for top positions, and that motivates me even more," said the player.
What did Jara say about his return?
The guard highlighted his connection with the institution and confidence in the sports project. "The feelings are very good, I'm very happy to be back and to have been considered for the team's assembly. I know the institution, I know how well they treat each other, and especially because in recent years they have been doing things well," Jara commented.
Who are the other reinforcements for Salta Basket?
Jara joins a squad that already includes Salta natives Facundo Binda and Diego Peralta, and Cordoba guard Martín Cabrera. The team will be led by new head coach Ariel Rearte, who aims to establish Salta Basket as a serious contender in the Liga Argentina.
