Kevin Widemon, a 23-year-old American guard, died of a heart attack during a Portuguese basketball tournament.
The Portuguese basketball federation said Widemon collapsed in the locker room Sunday during halftime of a game between his team Ovarense and Academica in Leiria, in northern Portugal.
Widemon, a native of Newark, N.J., had played 10 minutes in the third-place playoff game of a tournament which was canceled following his death.
