The 2024 Olympics have kicked off in France. This means that group play for the Men’s Basketball tournament has started.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will have a pair of representatives during the international tournament. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Lu Dort are part of Team Canada. It is in Group A with Spain, Greece and Australia.
Canada will face off against Australia as it continues its group play schedule. It picked up a close win over Greece on Saturday led by Gilgeous-Alexander to start 1-0.
This will be the first time Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey square off since the latter was traded to the Chicago Bulls earlier this offseason. Giddey was a starter in OKC for three seasons.
Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:
- Date: Tuesday, July 30
- Time: 6:30 a.m. CT
- TV Channel: NBC, Peacock

Each squad will play three games against the other three teams in their group. A win equals two points, a loss equals one point and a forfeit equals no points.
The top two teams in all three groups advance to the quarterfinals. The two best third-place squads will also advance. Head-to-head will be used as the tiebreaker.
The eight remaining teams will be in a random drawing to determine a single-elimination tournament to crown the winner. The semifinal winners will face off for gold while the semifinal losers will face off for bronze.
