This leaves a void that Spain must navigate in their quest for consecutive victories.
On the other end of the court, the United States boasts the glory of being Olympic champions. The American team is fueled by the talent of NBA luminaries like Anthony Edwards, Austin Reaves, and Jalen Brunson. These players, guided by first-time national team coach Steve Kerr, form a formidable roster that is eager to make its mark on the global stage.
