Juan Carlos Navarro has struggled with a recurrence of plantar fasciitis and could be limited during this summer’s Olympics.

Navarro, the EuroBasket 2011 MVP, sat out several games during Regal Barcelona’s recent run to the 2012 ACB League title.

"Navarro has struggled throughout the season,” Spain coach Sergio Scariolo said. “In the playoffs, he hasn't been able to give his best because of his condition.

“We hope that with some rest and a specific preparation, we can have him. He is a pillar of the national team.”
