As the Olympics wind down, it’s time for the basketball semifinals.
Team USA punched their ticket to the semifinals in a 122-87 win over Brazil that was dominated by 76ers center Joel Embiid. Captain LeBron James was taken out of the game following an elbow to the face that led to four stitches above James’ eye. He’s expected to play in today’s game following the injury.
Their opponent today, Serbia, is one they’ve already faced in the group round, and in that meeting, Team USA put up a 110-84 victory.
No matter the result today, Team USA men’s basketball will play for a medal — the question is just, which color will it be?
The US men’s basketball team is two wins away from a gold medal now. Below, we outlined everything you need to know to tune in to the USA vs. Serbia semifinal at the 2024 Olympics.
United States and Serbia face off in the Olympic semifinals today, August 8, at 3:00 p.m. ET. The game will air on USA Network and Peacock.
