In that win over South Sudan, Bam Adebayo led the U.S. in points with 18.
This is the first year Puerto Rico is competing at the Olympic Games since delivering one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history, defeating USA Basketball 92-73 at the 2004 Athens Olympics. With the win, Puerto Rico became the first team to beat the Americans since NBA players were allowed to compete for USA Basketball at the Olympics. The only player remaining from that team in 2004 who is still playing for USA Basketball is LeBron James, who is returning to the Olympics for the first time since the 2012 London Olympics.
Headlining Puerto Rico's roster at the Paris Games is New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado, who averaged 7.1 points this season for the Pelicans.
