The Australian Boomers get their 2024 Paris Olympics campaign underway on Saturday night against Spain to tip-off the action in Group A.
The Boomers will look to put a stamp on what will be a competitive ‘Group of Death’ but Spain will provide a tricky test first up, having won the last three meetings between these teams at international tournaments.
Australia will be led by host of NBA talent, including Patty Mills, Josh Giddey, and Dyson Daniels, who have all impressed in the warm-up games.
While Spain has lost some of its star power, their squad is filled with experienced players, headlined by former NBA players Rudy Fernandez and Alex Abrines, along with Juancho and Willy Hernangomez.
