After Joe Ingles and Team Australia, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Team Canada, and Rudy Gobert and Team France kicked off the 2024 Summer Olympics for the Minnesota Timberwolves crowd, there was one game queued up for Sunday:
Team USA vs. Team Serbia.
Before tip-off, there was much speculation as to who Head Coach Steve Kerr would elect to start. His starting lineups during the USA Basketball Showcase were fluid, but Kerr started Stephen Curry, Jrue Holiday, Devin Booker, LeBron James, and Joel Embiid for three of the five Showcase games. It appeared like that was the starting five he landed on.
