The United States women’s basketball team opens play at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a rematch of the gold medal game from the previous Summer Games.
Team USA will take on Japan on Monday in their first group stage clash, three years after the U.S. came out on top in the previous matchup. Brittney Griner pushed the Americans to the gold medal that day with 30 points in the 90-75 win.
Monday will be the start of the U.S. attempt to repeat as gold medalists. In addition to Japan, the Americans will contend with Germany and Belgium in their group for a spot in the quarterfinals.
