Basketball Olympics 2024: Big Blow For Team USA Ahead Of Serbia Clash As Star Player Misses Practice Due To Illness
Team USA has shown great potential by winning five consecutive pre-Olympic exhibition games. Fans are eagerly awaiting the men’s national team at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Their first game is on July 28 against Serbia in Lille, France.

However, star player Joel Embiid fell ill and missed practice. NBA insider Brian Windhorst of ESPN reported that Embiid couldn’t practice due to illness. Despite this, Team USA coach Steve Kerr is optimistic that the entire roster will be ready for the opener against Serbia.

Facing three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, Team USA needs a fully fit roster. Besides Embiid, Anthony Davis also missed practice due to illness, adding pressure on the team.

On a positive note, Kevin Durant, who missed all five pre-Olympic exhibition games due to injury, is set to return for the opening game. LeBron James mentioned that Durant looked impressive in practice and is expected to make an instant impact.

The match against Serbia will begin at 5:30 PM local time and 11:15 AM EDT on July 28. With key players recovering from illness and Durant making a comeback, Team USA faces a crucial test in their Olympic journey.
