The Australian men’s basketball team will take on Serbia in the quarter-finals of the Paris 2024 Olympics basketball tournament at the Bercy Arena on Tuesday.

The Australia vs Serbia men’s basketball quarter-finals will be broadcast live in Australia. The AUS vs SRB basketball match will begin at 10:30 PM AEST on Tuesday.

The Boomers, fifth in the basketball rankings, had a tricky outing in the group stage, losing two of their three matches. Their only victory came against world No. 2 Spain in their opening match of the campaign, where Jock Landale (20 points) and skipper Patty Mills (19 points) put up big performances.

However, their defeats to Canada and Greece in the following matches made things tricky. Courtesy of a couple of results working in their favour, the Boomers finished second in Group A by virtue of points difference.

Jock Landale was the star of the group stages for Australia, who scored 53 points and is averaging 17.7 points per game.

In the combined ranking table, the Australian basketball team finished sixth and was drawn to face world No. 4 Serbia in the quarter-finals.

Serbia, silver medallists at Tokyo 2020, were in Group C alongside the USA, the 16-time Olympic champions. After losing their opening match to the United States, the Serbia basketball team went on to defeat Puerto Rico and South Sudan to take the second spot in the group.

Across their last five meetings, Australia have had the edge with three wins, while Serbia have won two.

This tally includes the two matches at Rio 2016 in the group stages and semi-finals. Australia won the group stage match, while Serbia came out on top in the semi-finals to eventually bag the silver medal that edition.
