All Boomers and Team USA warm up games will be shown LIVE on ESPN, a tweet from Olgun Uluc confirms.

Australia will play Argentina, Nigeria and Team USA twice as they take their first steps on a long road that they hope will end with a medal.

The Boomers will start their warm up series against World Cup silver medallists on July 11, before facing Team USA on July 13 and 17 in the first match up between the two teams since Australia’s historic 2019 win at Marvel Stadium.

The game on July 14 against Nigeria will provide the Goorjian’s troops with their first close look at their Group B opponent, who will bringing plenty of NBA pedigree with them.

The warm up games are unlikely to reflect the team’s play during the Olympics, as the Boomers will be keen to keep their cards close to their chest and not give anything away that might give adversaries an advantage.

Goorjian will also be running through his extended 15 man roster and changes can still be made to their team, so expect injury replacements Josh Giddey, Xavier Cooks and Brock Motum to look to impress.

ESPN is available on FOXTEL and Kayo.
