LeBron James and several of his Team USA basketball teammates were spotted leaving an exclusive Parisian venue in the early hours of Monday, just before their scheduled training session ahead of Wednesday’s match against the rising South Sudan team.LeBron James was seen making his way to the exit at around 3am

James, along with fellow stars Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, and Bam Adebayo, exited through a back entrance of Siena, an upscale Italian restaurant near the Tuileries Garden. Durant left the venue well before James, who was seen departing at 3 a.m. local time. A group of unidentified women also left the restaurant, with umbrellas used to shield the high-profile guests and their companions from photographers. It remains unclear if these women were part of the NBA stars’ entourage.Kevin Durant sports a Boston Bruins hat as he makes his way to the exit at Siena

These events followed Team USA’s victory over Nikola Jokic and Serbia on Sunday. The timing of the outing is notable given the team’s upcoming schedule. With all 12 teams having played over the weekend, Monday was a rest day for the men’s tournament participants at Pierre Mauroy Stadium. While some teams used the day to practice, the U.S., which defeated Serbia convincingly with Durant leading the charge, took the opportunity to relax and enjoy the Olympic atmosphere.Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis is pictured after hanging out with Team USA in Paris

U.S. coach Steve Kerr emphasized the importance of allowing players to enjoy the experience, saying, “It’s huge. It’s also important for our players to enjoy the Olympic experience, watch other sports, and spend time with their families.”LeBron James is pictured hanging out with restauranteur Mehdi Abdelhedi at Siena

In the group stage, teams with a 3-0 record are guaranteed advancement, those with a 2-1 record are nearly secure, teams at 1-2 need external help but could still progress, and those at 0-3 are eliminated.

The match between the U.S. and South Sudan is highly anticipated, particularly after South Sudan’s narrow 101-100 defeat to the Americans in London earlier this month. The outcome of this game will determine which team advances to the quarterfinals.

In other matchups, Serbia vs. Puerto Rico is not an elimination game but will significantly impact the teams’ chances of advancing. South Sudan has made a strong impression in their Olympic debut, having beaten Puerto Rico 90-79 in their first game. South Sudan coach Royal Ivey remarked, “We’re not a secret anymore,” highlighting their emerging prominence in the tournament.
