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

Canada has a chance to clinch Group A in its matchup with Spain on Friday.

Canada has looked as dominant as advertised, going into the 2024 Paris Olympics as the favorite to challenge the United States for a gold medal. It has gotten out to a perfect 2-0 record behind convincing wins over Greece and Australia, and will now be put to the test against a quality Spain team.

Spain stands in with a 1-1 record, defeating Greece but losing to Australia. A win over Canada would lead to chaos in the “group of death” with the potential of three teams tied with a 2-1 record.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and RJ Barrett have powered Canada’s success, but its frontcourt has been a cause for concern. Spanish forward Santi Aldama has been one of the breakout players of the tournament, averaging 23.0 points per game. Only Barrett (23.5 PPG) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (30.5 PPG) are averaging more.

Will Canada secure a victory and the Group A crown? Or will Spain shake things up before the Knockout Round?
