Brazil made just one change from its FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament team as world no. 12 unveiled their final 12 for Olympic Games Paris 2024.
Bruno Caboclo, Lucas Dias, and veteran Marcelo Huertas are once again expected to lead the team alongside Vitor Benite, Georginho de Paula, Cristiano Felicio, Raul Neto, Didi Louzada, Leo Meindl, Gui Santos, and Yago Santos.
It's been 60 years since Brazil last won an Olympic medal in men's basketball, and they will try to break that drought in Paris.
However, the road to the medal rounds is tough as Brazil is slotted in Group B with hosts France, Japan, and FIBA World Champion Germany. Brazil will open their Olympic campaign against the French.
