The quest for a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal continues on Saturday for USA Basketball.
Following a 103-86 victory over South Sudan, Steve Kerr’s team will wrap up Group C play against Puerto Rico at 11:15 a.m. ET. A win would secure a 3-0 record for the U.S. at the 2024 Paris Olympics and guarantee a spot in the knockout round starting Tuesday.
In their recent win against South Sudan, Bam Adebayo led the U.S. with 18 points.
This year marks Puerto Rico's return to the Olympics since their historic upset of USA Basketball in the 2004 Athens Games, where they defeated the Americans 92-73. That victory made Puerto Rico the first team to beat the U.S. since NBA players began competing in the Olympics. LeBron James, the only player from the 2004 team still active, is making his Olympic return for the first time since the 2012 London Games.
