Today, the France men’s national basketball team will host Canada in a FIBA friendly in Orleans. Not New Orleans. ORLÉANS. It’s a city about 75 southwest of Paris. The OG Orléans was where Joan of Arc played a significant role in the Siege of Orléans in 1428-29.
Tip off is at 3 p.m. ET, or 9 p.m. locally.
The Canucks are expected to be one of the top teams in the Olympic men’s basketball tournament. With multiple All-Stars including Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett and Raptors center Kelly Olynyk headlining the roster, the Canadians could be the team to beat in Lille!
