Canada vs. Puerto Rico live score, updates, highlights from 2024 Olympic men’s basketball exhibition game | Sporting News Canada

Team Canada has one more pre-Olympics exhibition match on the schedule before the real action begins.

Canada takes on Puerto Rico this afternoon in the final scrimmage ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The team is coming in with momentum after taking down France 85-73 on Friday. 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander poured in a game-high 23 points on only 13 shots to go with five rebounds and five assists, paving the way for the maple leaf. RJ Barrett helped out the offense with 21 points, while Dillon Brooks and the defense held Victor Wembanyama to just 10 points on the French side. 

Puerto Rico is coming off a 90-75 loss to Australia in one of its latest exhibition contests. The team is headlined by Jose Alvarado and Tremont Waters.
