USA Men’s Basketball kicks off the group stage at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a tough task on Sunday, once again against Serbia. Fans interested in watching every moment of the 2024 Paris Olympics live will need to subscribe to Peacock, which will stream every event from the Games.

The USA vs. Serbia men’s basketball game is scheduled to begin at 11:15 a.m. ET and will be broadcast on Peacock. Fans who want to watch can do so via FuboTV or DirecTV Stream, both of which offer a free trial. SlingTV does not offer a free trial but does have other promotional offers available.

The Americans will play a star-studded lineup in Paris, with three Celtics (Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White) on the roster. The team could be without a few starters for the game, however, as Kevin Durant remains questionable with a calf injury that kept him out of the exhibition games. Joel Embiid also missed practice on Saturday with an illness and will be a game-time decision. Embiid’s presence will play a major role against a Serbian team led by former MVP Nikola Jokic and a host of other NBA talent, including Bogdan Bogdanovic.

PARIS (AP) — There is hope that Kevin Durant will play for the United States in its opening match of the Olympic Games against Serbia on Sunday, giving the men’s national team a 12-man roster for the first time this summer.

Unless something else happens.

The Americans open their path to what they hope will be a fifth straight Olympic gold medal when they face three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic and World Cup finalist Serbia in the opener for both teams at the Paris Games. Durant missed all five exhibition games the U.S. played in Paris with a calf injury, and coach Steve Kerr held back from definitively saying Saturday that he would be in the lineup for the opener.

“Hopefully,” Kerr said.

Durant was on the floor for practice, while presumed starting center Joel Embiid was not due to illness. Kerr said he did not expect Embiid to miss Sunday’s game.

“I’m confident we’ll have everyone ready tomorrow,” Kerr said.

There have been signs in recent days that USA Basketball expects Durant — a three-time gold medalist who is now seeking to become the first player to claim four-time Olympic gold in men’s basketball — to be ready to go. First, it didn’t replace him on the roster. Second, it released clips from a Thursday exhibition game in which Durant was active and even had a reverse dunk (and was dunked by Anthony Edwards, who idolizes him). And third, Kerr insisted earlier this week that he wasn’t worried about Durant’s status.

“We’ll see how it goes in practice today,” Kerr said Saturday. “So far so good. He came through the scrimmage two days ago pretty good.”

The team gathered for its first practice of the summer in Las Vegas on July 6, about a week and a half after Durant pulled his calf. He sat out practice there, didn’t play in the first exhibition win over Canada before the Americans left for their overseas leg of the pre-Olympic tour, and then the wait began.

Durant did some work on the court in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, but missed two more exhibitions there against Serbia and Australia. He did more work in London, but also missed the two exhibitions the U.S. played there against South Sudan and Germany.

He said he made the best of the situation.

“It’s unbelievable,” Durant said. “I mean, I haven’t played yet, but just being on the sideline, on the bench, I have more energy than I’ve ever had. I hate not playing, but just watching these guys, the way they operate, it’s just unbelievable.”

Durant was also incredible at the Olympic level.

Before Durant came on the scene, Adrian Dantley had the highest scoring average for an American male player in an Olympic tournament, averaging 19.3 points per game at the 1976 Montreal Games. That now ranks fourth on the U.S. single-Olympic list, behind Durant’s 20.7 points per game at the Tokyo Games three years ago, Durant’s 19.5 points per game at the 2012 London Games and Durant’s 19.4 points per game at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.

He has scored 435 points in the Olympics, the most in U.S. men’s history, 99 more than Carmelo Anthony. He is third in rebounds for the U.S. men with 118, seven behind Anthony and six behind David Robinson. He is the all-time U.S. men’s leader in Olympic 3-pointers made with 74 and the all-time leader in free throws made with 69.

“Immediate impact. Immediate impact,” US forward LeBron James said when asked what Durant would add to the mix when he returns. “He looked extremely good the other day in practice. Obviously his wind, his rhythm, he’s going to keep coming, but to get him back is going to be a huge impact for our club.”

And if that wasn’t enough, there’s this: The U.S. is 21-1 at the Olympics with Durant on the roster, and he won two NBA championships with Kerr during their three seasons with the Golden State Warriors.

“I know how hard he works because I’ve seen it up close for three years, and I know the level he’s trying to get to competitively to be his best self and why he’s the all-time leading scorer in (U.S.) Olympic history,” Warriors guard and rookie Olympian Stephen Curry said. “So you thrive on that, that preparation to give you that confidence that says, ‘Hey, we’re here to do business, but we’re also here to continue to learn from each other.'”
