Canada and Greece will square off in a Group A game at the 2024 Summer Olympics on Saturday. Team Canada has a well-balanced and experienced group full of NBA talent, so it is expecting to leave Paris with a medal.

Team Canada will rely heavily on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is coming off an All-NBA season in which he averaged 30.1 points per game. He will be playing alongside explosive guards like Jamal Murray and RJ Barrett as well as defensive stoppers like Luguentz Dort and Dillon Brooks.
