LeBron James and the United States men's basketball team open their 2024 Summer Olympics campaign on Sunday morning against Nikola Jokic and Serbia.
The Americans are going after their fifth straight Olympic gold medal. They are in Group C alongside Serbia, South Sudan and Puerto Rico.
Serbia is viewed as the biggest threat to Team USA's hopes of winning the group. Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic are the most notable names on the Serbia roster. The majority of the Serbian players ply their trade in the European basketball leagues.
James, Stephen Curry and Team USA beat Serbia 105-79 in a pre-tournament warmup in the United Arab Emirates on July 17.
