After the loss to Team USA in Las Vegas in the last prep game before the Olympics, coach Sergio Scariolo made his decision regarding the 12 players that will travel to Japan.
Pierre Oriola, Darío Brizuela and Xabi López-Aróstegui did not make the cut. On the other hand, Juancho Hernangomez’s medical status (shoulder) has been improving and he got a spot on the roster after the green light from the Timberwolves as well as the Spanish medical team.
Spain will travel to the Tokyo Olympics with the following 12 players:
4 Pau Gasol
5 Rudy Fernández
6 Sergio Rodríguez
9 Ricky Rubio
10 Víctor Claver
13 Marc Gasol
14 Willy Hernangómez
16 Usman Garuba
20 Alberto Abalde
21 Alex Abrines
23 Sergio Llull
41 Juancho Hernangómez
