In one of the most talented Team USA rosters assembled to this day, several basketball fans were eagerly anticipating Steph Curry’s debut at the Olympics. After showcasing his premier shotmaking in USA Basketball’s high-profile matchups, Serbia is the team’s first scheduled game in the Group Play.
How is the Warriors star performing against Serbia in their first game of the 2024 Paris Olympics? He logged 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-7 from 3-point range. His shotmaking looked as efficient as ever. Despite the limited touches, his presence on the court was a critical piece in sustaining the team’s spacing.

He was subbed back in the game in the fourth quarter and converted on a perimeter jumper with 5:30 minutes to go. With only seven seconds remaining in the fourth, Curry knocked down a shot from beyond the arc for finishing touches.It wasn’t an explosive performance from Steph Curry that basketball fans have been accustomed to but remained an integral piece to the team’s 110-84 victory.
