After sweeping a series of exhibition games last week against many of their Olympic rivals, the U.S. Men’s Basketball team is preparing to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympics. Their first game, held on Sunday, July 28, will be against Serbia.

Team USA includes an all-star roster of talent like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Bam Adebayo. Team USA’s forward LeBron James, who has appeared in three other Olympic Games, was also selected with tennis star Coco Gauff to be a flag bearer for the U.S. during the Opening Ceremony of the Games.

The Serbian team features a few NBA stars of their own, including Nikola Jokić, Bogdan Bogdanović, Nikola Jovic, and Vasilije Micić. During their exhibition game in Abu Dhabi, the U.S. beat the Serbs 105-79. The two countries belong to Group C in the Men’s tournament, which also consists of South Sudan and Puerto Rico, who also play on Sunday at 5 a.m. ET.
