Magic's Franz Wagner: Leads Germany in scoring Monday

17h ago

Wagner accumulated 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals across 29 minutes in Germany's 92-88 exhibition game loss to the United States on Monday.

Wagner led Germany in both points and steals Monday, keeping the squad on pace with Team USA in the close loss. The 22-year-old played a game-high 29 minutes, and he will likely continue to do so in the Paris Olympics as he will be expected to help lead Germany to a successful Olympic campaign. Wagner is coming off a career-best year with Orlando, during which he averaged 19.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.5 minutes across 72 regular-season appearances.

Nets' Dennis Schroder: Game-high 10 assists in loss

17h ago

Schroder put up 13 points (3-15 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds and one block across 17 minutes in Germany's 92-88 exhibition game loss to the United States on Monday.

Schroder produced a rough showing from the field in Monday's loss to Team USA. However, the 30-year-old did tally a game-high 10 assists as Germany kept the exhibition match close. Schroder and Franz Wagner will aim to lead the squad to Olympic success in Paris, and Germany's ability to hang with Team USA bodes well for their Olympic hopes, especially after winning the FIBA Basketball World Cup for the first time in 2023.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Efficient from field in win Monday

19h ago

Embiid posted 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 22 minutes in Team USA's 92-88 exhibition game win over Germany on Monday.

Embiid followed up a 2-for-8 performance from the field Wednesday against Serbia with two extremely efficient outings, shooting a combined 10-for-14 across the USA's last two exhibition games. Embiid's ability to move the ball Monday was also impressive as he led the squad in assists. The All-Star has been elite on the boards through five exhibition matchups thus far, averaging 6.8 rebounds per game.

Suns' Devin Booker: Shooting woes in victory Monday

19h ago

Booker tallied three points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes in Team USA's 92-88 exhibition game win over Germany on Monday.

Booker has started two consecutive exhibition games for Team USA; however, he shot only 3-for-11 from the field across that span. The 27-year-old has been in and out of the starting lineup due to Kevin Durant's (calf) absence, but if Durant returns in time for the Paris Olympics, Booker could very well be pushed out of the starting five. Booker did have a solid outing against Australia on July 15 coming off the bench, but since then, he has accumulated only 11 points in the past three games.

Lakers' LeBron James: Game-high 20 points in win Monday

19h ago

James chipped in 20 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 18 minutes in Team USA's 92-88 exhibition game win over Germany on Monday.

James shot the ball efficiently and led the team in scoring despite playing only 18 minutes. The 39-year-old has been one of the top options for Team USA in their exhibition matchups leading up to the Paris Olympics. The superstar has also shot over 70 percent from the field in each of the squad's last three matches, and he hit the game-winner against South Sudan in Saturday's 101-100 victory.

Suns' Kevin Durant: Likely to miss Olympic opener

22h ago

Durant (calf) is unlikely to play for Team USA against Serbia on July 28, ESPN's Brian Windhorst reports

Durant missed every single exhibition for Team USA during their preseason showcase, and it sounds like they will continue to exercise caution during the Olympic opener. Team USA's deadline to turn in their roster is Saturday, but coach Steve Kerr has no intention of replacing Durant. It's likely Durant's earliest appearance will be July 31 against South Sudan.
