The Avengers of NBA basketball have officially assembled.
With a little over two weeks left before the 2024 Olympics in Paris, the stacked Team USA basketball squad is warming up with a handful of showcase games in Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi and London.
In their first contest, USA stars LeBron James, Steph Curry and Joel Embiid battled with Canada’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, RJ Barrett and Dillon Brooks and pulled out an 86-72 win after a slow start.
Next up, the team will take on Patty Mills, Josh Giddey and Joe Ingles’s Australia at Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena on Monday, July 15.
After that, Steve Kerr’s newly formed club goes head to head with Nikola Jokic, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Aleksej Pokusevski’s Serbia on Wednesday, July 17 at the same venue.
They’ll wrap their pre-Olympics run with a pair of games at London’s O2 Arena against Bol Bol and JT Thor’s South Sudan on Saturday, July 20 and Dennis Schroder, Franz Wagner and Moritz Wagner’s Germany on Monday, July 22.
And, if you want to attend, last-minute tickets to the games in Abu Dhabi are shockingly cheap considering all the talent on display.
At the time of publication, some seats are going for as low as $31 USD before fees on Vivid Seats.
Team USA’s O2 Arena matchups are a bit pricier. As of now, they start at $258 USD before fees.
