The Italian specialist noted the recovery protocols as the main reason.

"Willy and Rudy will not play due to recovery therapy protocols, something we had already planned," Scariolo said.

Hernangomez was dominant under the baskets in the losing effort with game-high 25 points and 10 rebounds. Fernandez had 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 4 steals.

The second Lithuania-Spain game is scheduled for August 18 at 18:30 CEST.
