Despite being cleared to play by the Spanish NT doctors, The Minnesota Timberwolves didn't allow for Hernangomez to participate in the Olympics.

Valencia Basket's forward Xabi Lopez-Arostegui is set to replace Hernangomez on Spain's roster.

Hernangomez sustained a grade 4-5 acromioclavicular dislocation of his left shoulder during a friendly match against France on July 8. The 25-year-old forward was initially ruled out from the Olympics. However, he traveled to Tokyo with Spain and planned to play.
