Germany edged Spain 106–105 in overtime in a preparatory game at Madrid’s Movistar Arena on Thursday. Dennis Schröder led the world champions with 24 points and 10 assists, sinking the decisive basket in the extra period. Spain had a chance to prevail, but Darío Brizuela’s final attempt rimmed out as the buzzer sounded. Despite the defeat, Spain coach Sergio Scariolo praised his team’s effort and swiftly finalised the 12-man squad that will defend the European title next month. The roster, confirmed by the Spanish Basketball Federation late Thursday, includes veterans Willy and Juancho Hernangómez alongside emerging talents such as Santi Aldama, Jaime Pradilla and Mario Saint-Supéry. Playmaker Alberto Díaz, a defensive linchpin in recent campaigns, was omitted after failing to recover from injury, intensifying Spain’s shortage at the point-guard position. The team travels to Cologne on Friday for a return fixture against Germany before heading to Cyprus, where it opens its EuroBasket title defence against Georgia on 28 August.
