Germany Injury Report, Team News
The 2023 FIBA World Cup champions will begin their Paris 2024 journey after playing five preparatory games leading up to the Olympics. They won three of these friendlies—70-65 against France, 95-50 against the Netherlands, and 104-83 against Japan—while losing two—90-66 to France and 92-88 to the USA.
The roster features notable players such as Dennis Schröder, Franz Wagner, Moritz Wagner, Isaac Bonga, and Daniel Theis. This current squad is considered to have even more strength than the squad that won the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
Japan Injury Report, Team News
Japan are considered one of the underdogs for the gold medal in basketball at the Summer Olympics, following a challenging preparation period. They played six preparatory matches, losing five—89-90 to Australia, 85-84 (twice) to South Korea, 104-83 to Germany, and 119-100 to Serbia—and drawing one, 95-95 against Australia. Except for their 21-point loss to Germany, Japan showed resilience in their narrow defeats.
Despite not securing a win at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Rui Hachimura delivered an impressive individual performance, averaging 22.3 points per game. He is expected to make a significant impact in Paris. However, Yuta Watanabe’s availability for this clash is uncertain, as he missed the game against South Korea on July 8 due to a calf injury.
