While he’s worn red, white and blue on the floor for the FIBA World Cup and their recent run of showcase games, Sunday morning marked the official debut of Stephen Curry in the Olympic Games with Team USA.
For the first time in his career, Curry made an appearance in the Olympics for Team USA in their opening game of the group stage against Nikola Jokic and Serbia.
While the Team USA starters opened the game cold, falling down 10-2 to Serbia in the opening minutes, the Golden State Warriors point guard provided a little spark with his signature long-distance jumper.

A red-hot Kevin Durant came off the bench and fueled Team USA in the first half, scoring a fiery 21 points before halftime. At the break, Team USA is leading 63-49 over Serbia.
