LIVE: Follow for USA vs. France basketball updates

The United States men's basketball team has faced a decent amount of trouble leading up to the 2021 Olympics. Some of the planet's best players — LeBron James, James Harden, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis — withdrew from consideration for the 2021 Olympic squad before the team was officially assembled, leaving Team USA without some serious starpower.

Then, COVID-19 complications hurt the team, with Wizards star Bradley Beal being sent home from camp with a positive coronavirus test. Kevin Love withdrew from the squad soon after with an injury.

But the time for talk, conjecture, drama and projection is over: Team USA takes the court against France in preliminary round play today at the break of dawn on the East Coast today, with the Gregg Popovich-coached squad looking to earn its 17th gold medal in basketball and their third-straight at the Olympic games.
