South Sudan, Africa's lone Olympic basketball team, stunned Puerto Rico by 11 points. Incoming Duke star, Khaman Maluach played 6 minutes, and scored 2 points in the South Sudan victory. He had 2 rebounds.

Jayson Tatum is the only former Blue Devil competing for the United States this year, yet Steve Kerr did not play Jayson Tatum, intentionally in a victory against Serbia. After the game though, Kerr told ESPN that he "felt like an idiot" not playing Tatum.

RJ Barrett, on the other hand, led Canada to a 86-79 victory, while leading the team with 23 points. Barrett played 32 minutes, also leading the team in minutes.
