After trailing by double digits for most of the second quarter headed into the third, South Sudan has cut into the USA lead.

South Sudan now only trails 11, 60-49, after being down 21 earlier in the quarter. Nuni Omot and Bul Kuol have combined for 29 points.

Turnovers are hurting the U.S., and the physicality of the game has ratcheted up as well.

At the half, Canada remains scoreless against Colombia as its women's squad makes its last gasp to claw its way into the quarterfinals.

The team needs a high-scoring game to overcome the large point gap and secure one of the two third-place slots in the knockout round. But it's failed to make any headway against Colombia, a Group A leader.

Meanwhile New Zealand has managed to equalize against France, a goal from Kate Taylor in the 42nd minute to tie the game 1-1. France is almost guaranteed a spot in the next round of the tournament.

After leaving the game in the second quarter with a possible ankle injury, Anthony Davis is back on the floor for USA vs. South Sudan.

The U.S. is looking for its second straight win in group play after defeating Serbia in its opener. Davis started the game in place of Joel Embiid.

The U.S. women's water polo team cruised to its second win of the Games, defeating Italy 10-3 in the preliminaries. Three-time Olympian Maddie Musselman scored a game-high of three goals.

USA is leading South Sudan 55-36 after 20 minutes in their Wednesday group game.

Nuni Omot is leading South Sudan with 13 points.

The U.S. is dominating on both ends. It’s shooting 54.3% from the field while holding South Sudan to only 36.6%. The ball movement has been exceptionally crisp, while the defensive discipline has been equally impressive on the other end of the floor.

Joel Embiid hasn’t played after being taken out of the starting lineup. And Anthony Davis — who opened in his place — left the game in the second quarter with an apparent ankle injury.

The capacity house at Paris La Défense Arena let out two mighty roars at the end of the women's 1,500-meter freestyle race.

Isabel Gose of Germany won bronze.

Anthony Davis limped off the court with an apparent ankle injury vs. South Sudan on Wednesday. Davis was hurt going up for a shot on offense and was subbed out at the next timeout. There’s no idea to the severity, but he looked to be a little uncomfortable.

This is basically the only thing that’s gone wrong for the U.S. in the first half vs. South Sudan, as the States have been leading by double digits for most of the second quarter.

USA is dominating South Sudan so far in a rematch of their exhibition from earlier this month.

The U.S. took a 40-23 lead less than five minutes into the second quarter.

After a hot start from LeBron James in the first, Kevin Durant and Bam Adebayo have begun filling it up as well, combining for 17 points. Derrick White also has 7 points in addition to his stifling defense. James still leads the team with 10.

This is a little bit of a reversal from the team’s tune-up game, which the States only barely escaped with a 1-point win.

The odds were not in China's favor as they headed into their 3x3 basketball game against Serbia. China was coming off a loss to the Netherlands, while Serbia was coming off a win against the United States. Not to mention, Serbia is the No. 1-ranked team in the world with back-to-back World Cup wins.

Still, China proceeded to knock down shots, connecting on 5 of 10 beyond the two-point arc to secure their win. Ning Zhang led with a game-high 11 points.

Both teams have five games remaining in pool play.
