A loss to begin the Olympic run for Team Japan.
Former Nebrasketball star Keisei Tominaga and Japan fell to Germany 97-77 in their opening game of Paris 2024. The Germans shot 54% from the floor to run away with the contest.
Japan gets one point in the group standings for the loss while Germany picks up two points.
The Japanese squad struggled from deep, hoisting 35 attempts but making just 12. A notable scoring specialist, especially from beyond the arc, Tominaga did not score in the game. In fact, he did not take a shot in the 49 seconds of time he got on the floor.
