    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: Monday, July 29
    • Time: 6:30 a.m. CT
    • TV Channel: NBC, Peacock
    • Live Stream: Fubo (watch for free)

    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.
