See big name USA basketballers take on Australia’s greatest in a two-match pre-FIBA World Cup series right here in Melbourne

The USA Basketball Men’s National Team will be headed Down Under for two electric games against Australians Boomers. Hitting Marvel Stadium on Thursday, August 22 and Saturday, August 24 2019, these games will occur just before the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China, so expect plenty of on-court magic from these basketball heavyweights as they prepare themselves for the world championships.

The Boomers squad for the games will feature Australia's own NBA superstars Ben Simmons (Philadelphia 76ers), Andrew Bogut (Golden State Warriors), Matthew Dellavedova (Cleveland Cavaliers), Patty Mills (San Antonio Spurs) and Joe Ingles (Utah Jazz). The Aussies will battle it out against the likes of USA superstars James Harden (Houston Rockets), Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans), Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers); Kevin Love (Cleveland Cavaliers), Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors) and more.
