How to watch A’ja Wilson, Team USA basketball gold medal game at 2024 Paris Olympics

Team USA women’s basketball, led by Gamecock great A’ja Wilson, will play for its eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal this weekend.



The U.S. national team is on a 60-game win streak dating back to 1992. The medal streak started with the 1996 squad in Atlanta. That team included current South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley, who won three Olympic golds as a player and has since led USC to three national championships as a coach.



She signed Wilson as the top recruit nationally in 2014. Four years later, Wilson left a national champion, national player of the year and No. 1 WNBA Draft pick.



Here’s everything you need to know about how to catch Wilson in the 2024 gold medal game and her historic performance thus far in Paris:

Keeping up with A’ja Wilson

Wilson has starred for Team USA this Olympics. She averaged 20.3 points and 10 rebounds per game heading into Friday’s semifinal game versus Australia, leading the U.S. national team in both statistics.



After just three quarters against Nigeria on Wednesday, Wilson notched her third double-double of the Games. She is her the first American since Candace Parker (2012) to record as many double-doubles at the Olympics. On Friday, Wilson also swatted four shots in the first half.

Wilson made her Olympic debut in Tokyo. She started all six games in 2021, averaging 16.5 points and 7.3 rebounds under coach Dawn Staley. This year, Staley has watched her first Naismith National Player of the Year from the sidelines while donning a black visor with Wilson’s signature “A’One” Nike logo.

Off the court, Wilson celebrated her 28th birthday on Thursday.
