Marc Gasol and the Spanish National Team have advanced to the semifinals of FIBA EuroBasket for the tenth consecutive time and will face NBA guard Goran Dragic and Slovenia on Thursday in Turkey.
A Spain victory on Thursday would secure a second straight trip to the EuroBasket finals, where Gasol and his teammates will attempt to defend their championship. Spain’s undefeated run through this year’s field continued with Tuesday’s 84-72 victory over Germany in the quarterfinals.
Gasol, a three-time All-Star center with the Grizzlies, enters Thursday’s semifinal game coming off his best performance of the tournament after posting 28 points, 10 rebounds and four assists for his first double-double in EuroBasket 2017 play.
