After handily beating Serbia 110-84 in their first game of the Paris 2024 Olympics, the U.S. Men’s Basketball team will face South Sudan on Wednesday, July 31. During an exhibition match held the week before the Olympics began, Team USA managed to narrowly defeat South Sudan 101-100 when LeBron James scored a buzzer beater in the final seconds of play. Despite their loss, South Sudan’s dominance throughout that game solidified their position as a rival to watch at the games.

Coached by Steve Kerr, Team USA features an incredible lineup of talent including James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Jayson Tatum. Here’s how to watch the Team USA game against Serbia on Sunday, and every other Team USA game of the Summer Games.
