What is the men's basketball bracket at the 2024 Paris Olympics?
And then there were four. Here's how the Olympic men's basketball bracket looks as we enter the semifinal round, with the U.S. taking on Serbia and Germany facing host nation France.
What is the U.S. men's basketball team's projected starting lineup vs. Serbia?
Your guess is as good as ours at this point, as head coach Steve Kerr has deployed different starting fives in all four of his team's games: Joel Embiid started at the 5 against Serbia, sat entirely against South Sudan and then was back in the lineup against both Puerto Rico and Brazil. Jayson Tatum sat entirely against Serbia the first time, started the last two games of group play and then came off the bench against Brazil. At this point, the only iron-clad starters appear to be Steph Curry, LeBron James and Devin Booker, with the wing and center rotations depending on matchups.
Who coaches the U.S. men's basketball team?
The men's team has been led by Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr since 2022.

Prior to that, the countries had squared off in two gold medal games: Once in 1996 in Atlanta (when the Serbian national team still went by FR Yugoslavia) and again in Rio in 2016, both U.S. wins.
