Team USA’s pursuit of gold continues as they face off against South Sudan in the 2024 Paris Olympics group stage on Wednesday.
South Sudan gave the United States a tough challenge in an exhibition game just over a week ago. LeBron James’ clutch layup saved Team USA from a loss before the Olympics.
The key difference now is the return of Kevin Durant to the U.S. lineup. Despite being sidelined with a calf injury, the 35-year-old made a strong comeback for the opening group stage game.
Although Team USA is at full strength, the matchup with South Sudan remains significant due to the close nature of the exhibition game.
