The United States national team will prepare for the Tokyo Olympics in Las Vegas, where three of the best international teams in the world will meet.
The team led by Gregg Popovich will begin the exercise on July 6. Four days later, on July 10, the first friendly awaits Nigeria.
On July 12, the Americans will meet with Australia and on July 13 with Argentina.
A duel with Spanish basketball players is scheduled for July 18. The latter will only play one match in Las Vegas, as he will play in the same group C with Argentina at the Olympics.
Australia, Argentina and Nigeria will meet from time to time. Australia and Nigeria will meet in the Group B match at the Olympics on July 25.
The Spanish team ranks second in the FIBA world rankings, the Australians are in third place and the Argentines in fourth place. Nigeria is ranked 22nd.
The composition of the United States national team is expected to be clarified in late June. Some NBA stars, like Stephen Curry, Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard, have expressed their desire to participate in the Olympics, while players like LeBron James and Anthony Davis have no plans to defend America’s honor due to injuries.
Popovich’s troops will compete in Tokyo in Group A, where Iran, France and the qualifying team from Canada will compete.
In Victoria, Greece, China, Canada, Uruguay, the Czech Republic and Turkey are fighting for a single ticket.
