    After hosting Canada in the opening contest of a five-game exhibition showcase, Team USA hit the road with their first stop in Abu Dhabi before making their way to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.

    In Abu Dhabi, Team USA faced a true test in Australia, the No. 5 ranked team in the world according to FIBA. Despite facing a lineup that included multiple NBA players like Patty Mills, Jock Landale, Dyson Daniels, Josh Giddey and Dante Exum, the Americans were able to hold on for a tight win, 98-92.

    After scoring in double-figures against Canada in Team USA’s first showcase game, Stephen Curry had a quiet performance on Monday in Abu Dhabi. The Golden State Warriors All-Star point guard recorded three points on 1-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc with a rebound, an assist and two steals in 21 minutes against Australia.

    Anthony Davis led the Americans with 26 points and 14 rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench on Monday. Devin Booker added 23 points off the bench in Team USA’s 98-92 win.
