A few weeks ago, Dillon Brooks launched a call for Canadian stars to join the national team for the Paris Olympic Games. The Rockets player had three names in mind: Jamal MurrayAndrew Nembhard and Andrew Wiggins.
The first has just confirmed to Eurohoops that he will be part of the summer adventure. ” I can not wait to be there “, he says. “We have a great team and it was great to see them win a medal at the World Cup. I hope we can win gold this summer. »
Currently injured, the Nuggets playmaker withdrew a few days before the World Cup in 2023, failing to recover from his long season in the NBA.
As Canada had a big competition, with a historic third place for the country, the idea of adding Jamal Murray, or even Andrew Wiggins, to a group composed of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lu Dort, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, RJ Barrett, Dillon Brooks or even Dwight Powell and Kelly Olynyk, that would look great.
“I can’t wait to see the group we have. We have so many underrated players on this team, who we tend to overlook, but who can be impactful in so many ways.”continues the 2023 NBA champion.
Canada will need the best possible team because it is in Pool A, with Australia already, and the two winners of the Spanish and Greek TQOs. The Canadians could therefore find themselves with Spain, and Greece or Slovenia in their group!
