The 2024 Olympic games begin this week, which means there will be many chances to watch Indiana Pacers play some international basketball.
Star guard Tyrese Haliburton has been playing in the USA Basketball Showcase for the United States, who are currently 4-0. Young ball handler Andrew Nembhard has been suiting up for Team Canada, and they just finished their exhibitions ahead of the Olympics over the weekend.
“I think it’s a great opportunity for Tyrese to grow as a player. You’re going to be around the best players in the league for the most part on that team every day,” Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan said of the experience. “We told Tyrese, try to pick up something from every guy.”
