The Australian Opals will look to bounce back in their second game at the 2024 Paris Olympics when they take on Canada on Thursday night.
Both teams’ qualification hopes are on the line after the Opals went down to Nigeria in their opening game, while Canada suffered a 75-54 loss to host nation France in their first game.
Thursday’s game is a rematch of the bronze medal game at the 2022 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Sydney, which saw legendary Opal Lauren Jackson turn back the clock with a 30-point performance in the Aussie’s win.
