Spain and Germany's Ultimate Trial for Scariolo and His Squad Prior to Eurobasket 2025

The Spanish men's basketball team is gearing up for their final friendly match before Eurobasket 2025, facing the current world champions, Germany, in Cologne. This highly anticipated match is scheduled for 19:00 and will be broadcast live on La 2 and the website Play this Saturday.

The Spanish team's roster includes a mix of experienced players and newcomers. Willy Hernangómez, Jaime Pradilla, Yankuba Sima, and Santi Aldama are the centres, while Sergio de Larrea and Mario Saint-Supéry take up the guard positions. However, the team is facing injuries, leading to changes in the squad during the national team's concentration. Lucas Langarita, Isaac Nogués, Guillem Ferrando, and Álvaro Cáceres will not play in the Eurobasket due to injuries. Unfortunately, Alberto Díaz, a point guard, has also withdrawn from the Eurobasket due to an unspecified reason.

Dariusz Brizuela, Xabi López-Arostegui, Josep Puerto, Santi Yusta, Joel Parra, and Juancho Hernangómez are the forwards on the Spanish team's roster. The team is coached by Sergio Scariolo, who is hopeful for a victory against Germany to boost morale and reconnect with fans before heading to Cyprus for Eurobasket 2025. Scariolo believes that despite the injuries, the team is in the best shape possible.

Germany, on the other hand, fields important absences like Moritz 'Mo' Wagner, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Maxi Kleber. However, Franz Wagner, the brother of Moritz Wagner, is part of the German team, having recently signed with Orlando Magic. Denis Schröder, a member of the German basketball team, playing as a point guard, and Johannes Voigtmann, known to Spanish fans, are also called up for Germany's team, currently playing for Bayern.

Spanish coach for Germany's basketball team is Álex Mumbrú. This dual role has created an interesting dynamic, as both teams prepare for their upcoming matches. Scariolo has expressed his hope for a victory against Germany to boost morale and reconnect with fans before heading to Cyprus for Eurobasket 2025.

This match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams determined to secure a victory. Fans can catch the live action on La 2 and the website Play this Saturday.
