The U.S. men's basketball team is now just one win away from a historic fifth gold medal. After rampaging through its first four games, Team USA was sorely tested in its semifinal matchup with Serbia, needing a huge fourth quarter and a vintage Steph Curry performance to escape with a victory. Now comes another challenge: Host nation France, fresh off a win over Germany and with a raucous home crowd at its back. It's a rematch of the Tokyo final with everything on the line and some of the biggest stars in the sport. Here's everything to know.

What is the men's basketball bracket at the 2024 Paris Olympics?
And then there were two. Here's how the Olympic men's basketball bracket looks as we enter the medal round, with the U.S. taking on France and Germany facing Serbia for bronze.
What is the U.S. men's basketball team's projected starting lineup vs. France?
That's a great question. Steve Kerr has mixed and matched all tournament long, benching Jayson Tatum in both Serbia games but starting him in the other three contests. Joel Embiid, meanwhile, sat against South Sudan but has started the other four games. Steph Curry, Devin Booker and LeBron James are the constants, and with France's frontcourt size, Embiid is also a good bet. The wing is an open question, however, with Tatum and Kevin Durant both viable options in addition to someone like Jrue Holiday or Derrick White.
