The USA Basketball Men’s National Team is headed to France at the end of next week to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympics, but before they arrive in the City of Light, they’re competing in a week-long series of exhibition games against some of their biggest Olympic rivals. Coached by Steve Kerr, Team USA will be competing against Serbia in their third exhibition game which will be held in the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi this Wednesday, July 17. Team USA is hoping to continue their winning streak after already defeating Canada and Australia in the series of pre-Olympics friendly games.
Team USA features an incredible lineup of talent, many of whom have already earned gold at the Olympics in the past. 2024 marks LeBron James and Kevin Durant’s fourth time at the Olympics, while Jayson Tatum, Bam Adebayo, Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday and Anthony Davis are all back for the second time after winning gold in Tokyo in 2020. This year is the first Olympics appearance for Steph Curry.
The Serbian national team also features several familiar faces from the NBA: the team’s roster includes Charlotte Hornets’ players Vasilije Micic and Aleksej Pokusevski, Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic, and the Atlanta Hawks’ Bogdan Bogdanovic.
