Germany edged Spain 106-105 in overtime in the first of two friendlies, improving to 4-1 in pre-tournament games. Dennis Schroder sealed the win with a late drive and totaled 24 points and 10 assists, while Franz Wagner added 19 points and 7 assists. The matchup doubled as a symbolic coaching duel, with Alex Mumbru’s Germany topping Spain under veteran coach Sergio Scariolo in his final run. A rematch is scheduled in Cologne before group play, with Germany set to open in Tampere and Spain slated for Limassol. Germany enters EuroBasket as a favorite given its 2023 World Cup title and NBA depth, though Hartenstein (Achilles) and Moritz Wagner (ACL) are out.
