Allende has left Percy Werth out of his team for the event in Venezula because of the player's examination commitments.
Werth said: "I've meet Miguel Herrera (the Chilean Basketball Federation president) and after analysing the schedule, I told him I could not join the team. I have semestral exams in that period."
Patrick Saez and Pablo Avila have also been omitted after orginally being included by Allende.
