Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray has struggled offensively in the first two games at the 2024 Summer Olympics. He shot just 2-for-7 from the field during a five-point effort in Canada's 93-83 victory versus Australia on Tuesday. Coming off the bench, Murray added three rebounds, five assists, and two blocks to his tally while shooting 1-for-5 from downtown. Murray had eight points on 2-for-6 shooting in the team's first game against Greece, meaning he is shooting only 30.8 percent from the field so far. It's a luxury to have a player of Murray's caliber on your bench, but the Denver star has struggled in the role. However, there's still time to improve, and getting Murray firing would be an extra boost for Canada at the tournament.

San Antonio Spurs forward/centerVictor Wembanyama scored eight of his 18 points in overtime to help France defeat Japan 94-90 at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday. Wembanyama registered eight points in the first 3:20 of the contest, but his contributions were minimal in the final 3 1/2 quarters. However, in overtime, the 20-year-old dominated on the floor, finishing the game with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists. France is undefeated at 2-0, and Wembanyama will have be on top of his game again on Friday, going up against a formidable German team.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura scored 24 points for Japan in a crushing 94-90 loss to France at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday. In addition to scoring 24 points, Hachimura shot 10-for-16 from the field and collected six rebounds before being ejected from the contest early in the fourth quarter after being called for his second unsportsmanlike foul of the game. The 26-year-old will get another opportunity to shine on Friday as Japan faces Brazil.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert posted seven points, 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and one steal in 27 minutes during France's 94-90 thrilling overtime win over Japan in the Paris Olympics on Tuesday. The big man logged just 18 minutes in France's opener against Brazil. He likely saw an uptick in minutes against Japan due to the team's starting center, Victor Wembanyama, laboring at times as he grabbed his lower right leg and hip several times during the contest. Gobert and his French teammates have another tough matchup on Friday versus Germany in Group B play.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Atlanta Hawks released center Bruno Fernando on Tuesday. Fernando had been with the Hawks for just one season, and he will now look to sign with a new team before the start of training camp. The 25-year-old didn't contribute much in last season's first half, but he turned it around after the All-Star break, posting 7.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists across 19.3 minutes in 27 contests. Fantasy managers, if Fernando lands with a new team, don't expect him to carry much fantasy value going into the 2024-2025 regular season.
