What time does Team USA play Puerto Rico in the USA Basketball Showcase? Denver Nuggets aim to repeat in 2023-24 NBA season

USA Basketball announced the U.S. Men’s National Team will play Puerto Rico in Las Vegas, as the first of five games making up the USA Basketball Showcase prior to the 2023 FIBA Men’s World Cup. The exhibition is set for 10 p.m. ET on Monday, Aug. 7 at T-Mobile Arena.

“Our preparations for the 2023 FIBA Men’s World Cup begin in Las Vegas and we are excited to return to a city that regularly and graciously welcomes USA Basketball,” said Jim Tooley, USA Basketball CEO.

“The game at T-Mobile Arena, a first-class venue, will give basketball fans the opportunity to support the U.S. Men’s National Team before it heads abroad. We are thankful to the Puerto Rican National Team for spending a portion of their training window in Las Vegas and look forward to hosting them.”

Team USA officially qualified for the 2023 FIBA Men’s World Cup in February. USA is one of seven teams set to represent FIBA Americas in the 32-team field. The Americans will play all of their games at Manila’s Mall of Asia Arena from Aug. 25-Sept. 10, in Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines.

In the 2023-24 NBA season, the Denver Nuggets will aim to become the first team to repeat since the 2017-18 Golden State Warriors. Denver defeated the Miami Heat in five games of the 2023 NBA Finals to win its first championship in its 47-year history.
