French basketball players, deprived of Rudy Gobert, Nicolas Batum and Thomas Heurtel, lost 86 to 77 against Spain, Thursday night in Malaga, for their first preparation match for the Tokyo Olympics (July 23-August 8).

Vincent Collet's players will have the opportunity to take their revenge on Saturday for a new Olympic preparation match, still against Spain but at home this time, at Paris-Bercy.

After this match, the French will head to Japan to finish their preparation for the Games.
