Team USA Basketball: The latest scores and updates ahead of 2024 Paris Olympics (2024)

Team USA will head to the 2024 Olympics in Paris with a roster filled with some of the NBA's biggest stars and against what could be the most competitive field ever.

As the four-time defending Olympic gold-medal winner, Team USA will be favorites once again but will face stiff competition, such as France (featuring Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert), Serbia (Nikola Jokic), Germany (Dennis Schroder, Moritz Wagner, Franz Wagner) and Canada (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jamal Murray).

Among those playing for Team USA are LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant. Under coach Steve Kerr, the squad will look to get back onto the medal stand after Team USA finished fourth in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

In the run-up to the Olymics, Team USA went undefeated in five exhibition matches. The squad defeated Canada in Las Vegas, and then beat Australia and Serbia in Abu Dhabi. They then won two close games in London against South Sudan and Germany.

In France, the team will play three Group C games in Lille on July 28 (Serbia), July 31 (South Sudan) and Aug. 3 (Puerto Rico). The knockout rounds then shift to Paris with the quarterfinals (Aug. 6), semifinals (Aug. 8) and gold-medal game (Aug. 10) at Accor Arena.

As we countdown to Paris 2024, we will have you covered with the latest news and analysis.
