Puerto Rico and South Sudan are both trying to shock the world at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Before each team gets its shot at Team USA in Group C action, they will face each other.
Led by New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado, Puerto Rico wants to take its feisty, high-energy style to a medal game. Puerto Rico earned its spot at the Summer Games by going 4-0 as the host of one of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments earlier this month.
South Sudan is set to make its Olympic debut. Former NBA forward Luol Deng has put together a strong group that gained even more confidence in its ability to make some noise in Paris after nearly beating Team USA in London on July 20.
These teams previously met at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, and Puerto Rico came out on top with a 101-96 victory. What will happen when Puerto Rico and South Sudan collide at the Olympics?
