Canada finalized its men’s basketball roster for the Paris Olympics 2024 on Wednesday, with eight of the 12 players selected having been part of the run to a bronze medal at last summer’s Fiba World Cup.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Dillon Brooks, Kelly Olynyk, Lugentz Dort, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, RJ Barrett, Dwight Powell and Melvin Ejim are the eight Olympians who were on the World Cup roster a year ago when Canada won a wild bronze-medal game over the U.S. 127-118 in overtime. It was Canada’s most significant international medal since winning silver at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
