Must read

The Australian Boomers continue their preparations for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games with a pair of exhibition games in Abu Dhabi. 

First up, they face a formidable Team USA headlined by Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis. 

While Australia has never beaten Team USA in a tournament game, they have had some success in recent years during warm-up games, picking up a 91-83 win ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, following up their historic 98-94 win in Melbourne ahead of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup. 

The Boomers will once again be headlined by 5-time Olympians Patty Mills and Joe Ingles, while veteran Matthew Dellavedova returns to the national team after missing selection for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
