After battling against Greece during the preparatory cycle for EuroBasket 2022 last, Spain is set to face Lithuania in a friendly match today.

Prior to the matchup, the head coach of the Spanish national team, Sergio Scariolo, talked about the opponents' team.

"The team has to adapt to new situations, which requires a great effort from everyone. Against a team like Lithuania, which everyone sees as one of the medal favorites, we have to go out on the court with pride, toughness, intensity, and concentration," he said.

"We are making progress in our preparation," Scariolo told. "I would like to see a national team that, against a physically stronger team like Lithuania, notice this difference as little as possible."

The Spanish national team has been cut down to 16 players while Lithuania currently practices with 15 men on the roster. The match is scheduled to take place today at 19:30 CET in Palacio Multiusos de Gran Canaria.
