Sergio Rodriguez has a chance to prove his worth against some faces that will become very familiar.
With Dario Saric now ousted from the 2016 Rio Olympics, Spanish point guard Sergio Rodriguez is the last hope for a member of the Sixers to bring home a medal. Getting past their opponent Friday afternoon will be no easy task.
Spain stumbled through their first two Olympic contests, but have been a well oiled machine ever since. They finished second in Group B, then routed France 92-67 in the quarterfinals on their way to a matchup with top-seeded team USA.
