Canada Basketball Olympic Games 2024 Schedule and Information

The 2024 Olympic Games are underway in Paris and Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles is eager to make a difference for the Canadian basketball team.

Lyles and Canada opened the group stage of their Olympic program with a win over the Greek team of two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo on Saturday, by an 86-79 score.

In the 14-minute contest, Lyles grabbed three rebounds and one assist as Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (23 points) and Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (21 points) led the way for Canada.

Here are the times Lyles and his teammates will be back in action for the group stage:

  • Tuesday July 30 vs. Australia – 4:30am PDT
  • Friday August 2nd vs. Spain – 08:15am PDT

More about Trey Lyles and Canada basketball

Lyles, 28, just put the finishing touches on a strong season for the Kings.

In 58 games, the 6-foot-1 forward averaged 7.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game while making 44 percent of his field goals and 38 percent of his three-pointers.

The veteran will face plenty of competition for a spot on Canada’s team in training camp, as several NBA prospects are trying to earn a spot on Fernández’s roster.

MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander highlights a group of talent that also includes Dillon Brooks, Kelly Olynyk, RJ Barrett, Lu Dort, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dwight Powell and NBA champion guard Jamal Murray.

Canada brings the most current NBA players (10) to the Olympics of any country outside the US.

When is the Sacramento Kings’ next offseason date of interest?
