Paris 2024 Olympics: How to watch Team USA men's basketball live, with full schedule
The United States of America are the heavy favorite to win gold in the men's basketball competition at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
Team USA is seeking a fifth straight (and 17th total) gold medal in the event; however, at the most recent international tournament — the 2023 FIBA World Cup — the USA finished in fourth place after losing to Canada in the bronze medal game.
In response to a dissapointing performance (by the USA's lofty standards) at the World Cup, USA Basketball Men’s National Team managing director Grant Hill selected an almost entirely new squad for Paris 2024, with just two players — Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton — returning from the 2023 roster.
The Paris 2024 Olympic team was announced in April and is headlined by LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry.
James returns to Olympic competition eight years after winning gold with Team USA at Rio 2016. The four-time National Basketball Association champion also won gold at London 2012 and bronze at Athens 2004.
Curry, a four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP**, will play in his first Olympics** when he steps on the court at Paris 2024.
Below is Team USA's complete schedule at Paris 2024 and how to watch all the action live.
