Puerto Rico and South Sudan are both trying to shock the world at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Before each team gets its shot at Team USA in Group C action, they will face each other.
Led by New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado, Puerto Rico wants to take its feisty, high-energy style to a medal game. Puerto Rico earned its spot at the Summer Games by going 4-0 as the host of one of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments earlier this month.
