Team USA continues its preparation for a run at a fifth straight Olympic gold medal with a series of exhibition games against other contending teams before arriving in Paris.
On Wednesday, Team USA faces Serbia -- led by Denver Nuggets star and NBA MVP Nikola Jokic -- in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It will be a key test for a squad led by LeBron James and Stephen Curry, with both teams also playing in Group C in France.
Team USA is looking for its third straight exhibition win after defeating Australia 98-92 on Monday at Emirates Arena and defeating Canada 86-72 in Las Vegas last week. The team will then head to London for two more exhibition games, against South Sudan and Germany.
For the Olympics, Team USA will play three Group C games in Lille on July 28 (Serbia), July 31 (South Sudan) and Aug. 3 (Puerto Rico). The knockout rounds then shift to Paris with the quarterfinals (Aug. 6), semifinals (Aug. 8) and gold medal game (Aug. 10) at Accor Arena.
Follow along with updates, highlights and analysis from Wednesday's game as Team USA looks to keep its pre-Olympic momentum going against a talented Serbian squad.
