Four games are on the slate Friday for men’s basketball at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Friday marks the third and final game in group action in Paris for Groups A and B, adding an extra layer of significance to the contests with the knockout round starting on Sunday. The field will be trimmed from 12 teams down to eight, with six of those spots being taken up by the top two teams from each of the three groups and the final two spots coming from the two best third-place teams.
