Pre-Olympic basketball action continues with an exhibition between Australia and Serbia.
The Australian Boomers are back in action one day after staging a second-half rally in a six-point loss to the United States. Serbia has had a few days off after earning a 12-point win over France last week.
This matchup is headlined by three-time league MVP Nikola Jokic, who leads a Serbian team that also features Bogdan Bogdanovic and Vasilije Micic. In the win over France, Jokic finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds before fouling out.
Australia has a tall task ahead after struggling with Anthony Davis in its exhibition with Team USA. The Boomers’ strength lies on the perimeter with Patty Mills, Josh Giddey and Dyson Daniels making up a three-guard lineup, but Jock Landale had a standout performance against the United States.
As Australia looks to slow down the world’s best big man, The Sporting News is tracking live updates throughout the exhibition game.
