Teams Preview
France
The host nation, France, is on a four-match losing streak heading into their opening Group B encounter against Brazil. They suffered defeats against Australia (82-83), Canada (73-85), Serbia (67-79), and Germany (65-70). Placed in one of the tournament's toughest groups alongside the USA and Brazil, every game is crucial for France, and a slip-up could end their campaign. Despite this, France boasts a strong Olympic history, having won three silver medals.
Vincent Collet's team has assembled a star-studded roster for these Olympics, featuring NBA Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama in his senior national team debut, along with other NBA stars Rudy Gobert, Evan Fournier, Nicolas Batum, and Frank Ntilikina. The roster also includes EuroLeague standouts Guerschon Yabusele, Isaia Cordierr, and Mathias Lessort, who bring valuable experience playing on smaller courts and possess knowledge of their Brazilian counterparts.
Brazil
Three-time Olympic bronze medalists, Brazil, make an emphatic return after missing the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. This year's appearance marks Brazil's 16th participation in the Olympic Games. The team secured their spot in the main draw by dominating the qualifying finals against Latvia, winning 94-69. Leonardo Meindl led Brazil with 20 points and 9 rebounds, while Bruno Caboclo contributed 21 points. G Paula, M Huertas, and G League star Gui Santos also scored in double figures.
Gustavo de Conti's men have won three of their last four games. While they lack the star-studded NBA contingent of their French counterparts, the roster is composed of highly experienced players accustomed to smaller courts. Many of these players have achieved success in both the EuroLeague and the Spanish Liga ACB.
