The action continues in Group A at the 2024 Olympics' men's basketball tournament (also known as the "group of death") with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece matching up with Santi Aldama and Spain on Tuesday.
The Sporting News has all the details you need to know about how to watch this star-studded Olympic clash, including tipoff time, TV channel, encore broadcast and each team's roster and staff.
Both Greece and Spain have enough talent to get to the medal games, but this contest will be crucial to keeping that hope alive. Giannis and company lost to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Canada, 86-79, on Saturday, while Spain fell to Jock Landale and Australia.
A second loss for either team will sink their chances at advancing past the group stage to compete for gold, silver or bronze. That means fans should be in for a real treat when these two European national teams face off Tuesday morning.
All eyes should be on Antetokounmpo in this one, as the two-time NBA MVP scored 34 points on 11-of-17 shooting and 12-of-15 at the line against Canada. He also got some help from Kostas "Air Pop" Papanikolaou, who chipped in 17 points on 5-of-8 from the field.
Spain will counter with Aldama, who put up 27 points against the Boomers on 6-of-12 shooting and 9-of-10 from the free-throw stripe. Fellow NBA player Usman Garuba racked up seven boards, while veteran guard Lorenzo Brown tallied seven assists but also seven turnovers.
As a must-win for both sides, this should be a fantastic game with massive implications for the rest of the tournament. Here's everything you need to know about Greece vs. Spain, including tipoff time, how to watch and eacb team's roster and coaching staff.
