The USA Men’s Basketball team is gearing up to kick off group play in the 2024 Paris Olympics against Serbia, with the game scheduled to broadcast on Peacock at 11:15 a.m. ET. The team could potentially be without star players Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid due to injury and illness, respectively, for this crucial matchup against Nikola Jokic and the Serbian squad. Fans looking to catch all the action can sign up for Peacock, FuboTV, or DirecTV Stream to stream the games live.
Durant, who has been dealing with a calf injury, is hoping to make a return and help the team secure their fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal. Despite missing exhibition games, there are positive signs indicating that Durant might be ready to play, including participating in practice and scrimmages leading up to the game.
Durant’s historical impact in Olympic play, including being the U.S. men’s all-time leading scorer, adds to the anticipation of his potential return in this year’s Olympics. His presence could provide a significant boost to the team’s performance and hopes of securing another gold medal. With a record of 21-1 in Olympic games with Durant in the lineup and his experience playing alongside coach Steve Kerr, his return is eagerly anticipated by fans and supporters of USA Men’s Basketball.
