South Sudan vs Serbia

Serbia secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Olympics with a 96-85 victory over South Sudan, allowing Greece to advance as well due to point differential. Led by Bogdan Bogdanovic's 30 points and Nikola Jokic's double-double of 22 points and 13 rebounds, Serbia finished second in Group C. South Sudan, which needed only to lose by less than two points to advance, played competitively but ultimately fell short, concluding their first Olympic basketball appearance since gaining independence in 2011. The game was closely contested, with Serbia maintaining a slim lead throughout and a critical 13-0 run in the final quarter sealing the win. Greece, finishing third in Group A, will face Germany in the quarterfinals. South Sudan's Carlik Jones and Marial Shayok each scored 17 points, marking a commendable effort despite the loss.
