The Warriors star point guard revealed who he’s looking forward to playing in the Olympic Games in Paris.

In the 2024 edition of the Olympic games, Team USA will meet a flurry of talent on the basketball court. To get to the gold medal, the men’s team will face off against NBA star-caliber players like Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Giannis Antetokounmpo and others.

Before the group stage begins, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant were asked who they’re looking forward to playing on the court at the Olympics in Paris. Without mentioning a specific team or player, the Golden State Warriors’ point guard gave simple answer. Durant quickly cosigned his answer.

Steph Curry notches 3 points in Team USA’s showcase win vs. Australia

Steph Curry had a quiet performance in Team USA’s 98-92 win over Australia on Monday.

After hosting Canada in the opening contest of a five-game exhibition showcase, Team USA hit the road with their first stop in Abu Dhabi before making their way to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.

In Abu Dhabi, Team USA faced a true test in Australia, the No. 5 ranked team in the world according to FIBA. Despite facing a lineup that included multiple NBA players like Patty Mills, Jock Landale, Dyson Daniels, Josh Giddey and Dante Exum, the Americans were able to hold on for a tight win, 98-92.

After scoring in double-figures against Canada in Team USA’s first showcase game, Stephen Curry had a quiet performance on Monday in Abu Dhabi. The Golden State Warriors All-Star point guard recorded three points on 1-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc with a rebound, an assist and two steals in 21 minutes against Australia.

Anthony Davis led the Americans with 26 points and 14 rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench on Monday. Devin Booker added 23 points off the bench in Team USA’s 98-92 win.

Watch: Steph Curry hits deep 3-pointer for Team USA vs. Australia

Steph Curry knocked down a deep triple during Team USA’s showcase game win over Australia.

Before officially starting the Summer Olympics Games at the end of July, Team USA has five exhibition showcase games on the schedule as they prepare to make a run in Paris.

After cruising past Canada in Las Vegas, Team USA was tested by Australia on Monday in Abu Dhabi. After a scoreless first quarter on Monday, Stephen Curry got going with a long 3-pointer in the second half. Curry’s long jumper helped extend Team USA’s lead to double figures in the second quarter.

Via @warriors on Twitter:

Although Team USA secured a 98-92 win over Australia, Curry had a quiet performance while uncharacteristically struggling to shoot the ball. Curry finished with only three points on 1-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc.

Curry and Team USA will meet Serbia in another showcase game on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi.

Watch: Steph Curry knocks down 3-pointer in opening minutes for Team USA vs. Canada

In the opening minutes of Team USA’s showcase game against Canada, Steph Curry knocked down a signature 3-pointer.

Despite the highly-anticipated debut for Team USA’s 2024 Olympic squad, it was a rough start for the Americans. Team USA started ice cold, going scoreless from the field in the opening four minutes. Team USA missed its first six shots from the field in the first quarter.

Already trailing by double-figures, Stephen Curry used a pump fake to get open for a 3-pointer for Team USA’s first field goal of the game. The Golden State Warriors point guard cut Canada’s lead down to six with a much-needed triple from the top of the key.

Despite Curry’s long ball, Canada dominated the opening 10-minute quarter, securing a 19-14 lead after one.

The Golden State Warriors All-Star guard was mic’d up at the latest practice for Team USA.

On Wednesday, Team USA will meet Canada in Las Vegas for their first exhibition game before they head to Paris later in the month for the 2024 edition of the Olympic games.

As the team prepares for the Olympics at training camp in Las Vegas, a member of the Golden State Warriors provided an inside look at action while wearing a microphone during Team USA’s latest practice.

During the two-minute video, Curry spoke with his former Golden State teammate Kevin Durant, gave his best Anthony Edwards impression, went one-on-one against assistant coach Erik Spoelstra, and talked with his new teammates during scrimmages.

Via @usabasketball on Twitter:

The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris will be Curry’s debut with Team USA in the Olympics. Internationally, Curry has worn the red, white and blue twice during FIBA World Cups, but never the Olympics.

Before heading to Paris, Team USA will play five exhibition games, starting with Canada on Wednesday.

2024 U.S. Women’s Open TV viewership down big but attendance was best in nine years

There is good and bad to report from the Open.

The TV ratings for the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open are out, according to a report by essentiallysports.com, and it shows the major championship viewership was down considerably from a year ago.

But while there were fewer people watching from home, there were a big number of them on site.

The U.S. Golf Association didn’t release specific attendance figures but did report that it’s the highest-attended USWO since 2015, a year when the tournament grounds were open for seven days, as compared to six this time around.

And the fans that went were spending money. The USGA says hospitality at Lancaster Country Club in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, matched the all-time high while it proved to be the best year ever for merchandise sales, including highest average transaction.

As for the TV numbers, though, NBC’s final-round coverage of Yuka Saso’s second USWO title was down considerably from 2023 when the Open was staged at Pebble Beach, pure eye candy for golf viewers at home.

The Essentially Sports report says Sunday viewership was 1.58 million for Pebble but just 943,000 this time around. Saturday’s third round on NBC had 825,000 viewers while Friday’s second round, which was on cable on the USA Network, was 204,000.

It didn’t help that a caravan of big names failed to reach the weekend, including World No. 1 Nelly Korda.

How to watch the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open on NBC, USA, Peacock, Golf Channel

NBC, USA, Golf Channel and Peacock are teaming up for all the coverage.

The 2024 U.S. Women’s Open tees off Thursday at Lancaster Country Club in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

It’ll be the 79th rendition of the longest running women’s professional golf championship.

“When I was at media day here about a month ago, I used the number nine a lot,” said USGA CEO Mike Whan on Wednesday. “Nine years ago we were here at Lancaster Country Club. This is the 91st time the USGA has teed it up in the state of Pennsylvania, more than any other state in the country. And this is the 999th USGA championship since we began running championships in 1895.”

Here in 2024, the USGA is partnering with the NBC Sports family to bring 26 hours of live coverage on TV with NBC and USA and streaming on Peacock.

USA and Peacock will have 16 hours over the first two rounds with NBC taking over the main TV broadcast over the weekend.
