Steph Curry and Team USA assemble in Vegas before exhibition game vs. Canada
Steph Curry and Team USA will assemble in Las Vegas for their training
camp under head coach Steve Kerr and assistant coach Erik Spoelstra. They will take on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Canada in an exhibition
game on July 10.
Upon reaching France, the US outfit will play three Group C games starting against Serbia on July 31. They later play Sudan on July 31, followed by the winner of an Olympic qualifier on Aug. 3. The knockout rounds are in Paris with the quarters, semis, and the gold medal matchup at Accor Arena. Earlier, Curry expressed his excitement about representing the national team (via FIBA):
“I know that with the Dream Team and your experience, it’s something you can’t really imagine because of the heights of what the Olympic buildup is, and the Opening Ceremony and going to see the other athletes do their thing in their respective competitions.
“We obviously want to go get the gold, and for this being my first experience, I’m super excited. I’m 36 now and I don’t know if I’ll have another one so this is definitely the year,” Curry added.
Steph Curry and Co. are favorites to clinch gold at the Olympics once again. Can the new “Dream Team” can make it five golds in a row?
