Spain's Olympic journey in Paris 2024 came to an end after a narrow 85-88 loss to Team Canada in a critical Group A game, often called the "group of death" before the tournament.

Despite a victory over Greece, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Spain fell short against both Australia and now Canada.

Lorenzo Brown, who returned to the Spanish national team after helping secure gold at the FIBA EuroBasket 2022, had high praise for retiring veteran Rudy Fernandez.

"Spectacular player, spectacular vet teammate as well," Brown said of Fernandez. "So a guy like Rudy gave it his all. He really wasn't supposed to play tonight because of his neck injury. So it just shows a lot about his character right there that he's willing to put it all on the line and sacrifice for his country. And you know, that's what he did."

When asked by BasketNews' Donatas Urbonas if this might be his last game with Spain as the Olympic cycle concludes, the 33-year-old Brown was straightforward.

"No way, no way, man. I want to get back to the Olympics and give it another shot at it," said Brown, who contributed 4 points and 4 assists in the game against Canada.
