USA Basketball star Stephen Curry is ready for a challenge when his 2024 Paris Olympics end Saturday with a gold medal contest against Victor Wembanyama and France.

“I know it’s going to be a battle. That’s what it’s supposed to be if you’re trying to win a gold medal,” Curry said, per Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press.

Team USA faced its biggest obstacle of the tournament so far on Thursday during a semifinal game against Nikola Jokić and Serbia, which the Americans trailed for more than 35 minutes.

Curry, who scored 36 points to power Team USA to a 95-91 win, will now hope to put together a similarly dominant performance on Saturday.

France, meanwhile, enters the contest coming off a semifinal win over Germany and a quarterfinal upset of Canada.

The home team gained the advantage over Germany in the third quarter and never looked back, closing out the game with a strong fourth quarter to seal the 73-69 win.

France’s semifinal victory set up a rematch for the 2020 Tokyo Games that took place in 2021. Team USA, then without Curry or James, won 87-82 in the previous gold medal contest.

Wembanyama finished Thursday’s win with 11 points on 4-of-17 shooting, but he added seven rebounds and several key blocks that helped France close out the victory.

In the U.S. semifinal, Curry came one point short of tying Carmelo Anthony’s single-game Olympic-record total, scoring 36 points on 12-of-19 shooting.

The final will pit him against a French team with the rare Olympic advantage of playing in front of a home crowd. The United States is currently the only country to win Olympic gold in men’s basketball at home, having achieved the feat at the 1984 Los Angeles Games and 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Starters Isaïa Cordinier and Guerschon Yabusele, as well as sixth man Mathias Lessort, were able to join Wembanyama in overwhelming Germany. Now they will look to give Curry and Team USA their biggest challenge of the tournament when the gold medal game tips off at 3:30 p.m ET.
