Team USA men’s basketball is gearing up for the Olympic Games in Paris, France, but first, it must complete its pre-Olympics schedule. Led by an all-NBA roster and a multiple-time championship coach in Steve Kerr, the U.S. will attempt to make a deep run toward a gold medal by the end of the competition. Notable names such as LeBron James, Anthony Edwards, and Jayson Tatum bring star power and decades of combined professional playing experience to the team.
The U.S. will attempt to gain confidence in the first matchup against Team Canada, which kicks off a schedule that includes games against Australia, Serbia, South Sudan, and Germany from Wednesday, July 10, to Monday, July 22. The Sporting News has wall-to-wall coverage and all you need to know ahead of each tipoff, including TV designations, start times, tickets, and more.
A North American showdown between the United States and Canada tips off the USA Basketball Showcase – five exhibition games to be played over two weeks in preparation for the 2024 Olympics in Paris – tonight in Las Vegas at 10:30 p.m. ET on FS1. Team USA and Team Canada last met exactly 10 months ago in the bronze medal game of the 2023 FIBA World Cup, where Canada prevailed in an overtime thriller thanks to standout performances from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Dillon Brooks.
Team Canada will return most of its World Cup team for the Olympics with notable additions like Jamal Murray, Trey Lyles, and Andrew Nembhard. Conversely, Team USA will only return two players from its World Cup team—Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton—while adding 10 NBA All-Stars headlined by four former league MVPs: LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid. With NBA talent and a higher level of team continuity, Canada provides a strong test for Team USA as the Americans take the court for the first time as a unit this summer.
