So let’s take a look at the chronology of Spain.

Group C includes Slovenia Luka Doncic, host country Japan and an intermediate version of Argentina, the top two teams automatically qualify for the playoffs, while two of the three third-place teams also qualify.
Could the Spanish risk losing Hernangomes in those matches? It seems like a smart move to get about three and a half weeks off. Spain ranks second in the world by FIBA and has won a medal in each of the three previous Olympics, despite never winning a gold medal.
