A thrilling battle is set to take place on Friday morning in Group A, as Canada goes head-to-head with Spain. So far, Canada has tasted victory in both matches, and they're just one win away from securing the top spot in the group. The team notched up a 93-83 victory over Australia on Tuesday.

Conversely, Spain has had mixed results, winning one and losing their two matches. They managed to outshine Greece with an 84-77 win on July 30.

The stakes are high for Canada as they confront Spain, the current EuroBasket champions, on Friday, hoping to secure the No.1 seed in Group A. They've already proven their mettle with victories over tough opponents like Giannis Antetokounmpo's Greece and Josh Giddey's Australia.


On the other hand, Spain had a shaky start with a loss to Australia but redeemed themselves in style by triumphing over Greece, their European counterparts. As they compete for the second seed alongside Australia, this is a crucial make-or-break match for Spain.

The ball is effortlessly controlled by this 26-year-old who has no trouble devising his shot.

Santi Aldama, the forward for Spain, sits among the premier players of the team. Aldama can expand the court and effortlessly take shots off the dribble. He also excels as a rebounder and shot blocker. In his recent performance, he accomplished a double-double with a score of 19 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocked shots.
