Canada Men's Basketball Team Qualifies for Paris 2024 Olympics
Canada to Showcase Star Power at Olympics
Gilgeous-Alexander, Wiggins, Murray to Lead Charge
With a dominant performance in the FIBA Men's AmeriCup 2025 Qualifiers, Canada has secured its spot at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The team, known as the French Équipe du Canada de Basketball Masculin, will be led by a trio of NBA stars: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Andrew Wiggins, and Jamal Murray.
The star power of the Canadian team is undeniable. Gilgeous-Alexander is a rising star with the Oklahoma City Thunder, averaging 30.8 points per game this season. Wiggins, a former Rookie of the Year, is a key contributor to the Golden State Warriors' dynasty. Murray, a two-time All-Star, is a dangerous scorer with the Denver Nuggets.
In their first game of the AmeriCup Qualifiers, Canada delivered a statement victory over Nicaragua, winning 96-51. The team's dominance was evident throughout the game, as they controlled the pace and kept Nicaragua at bay defensively.
With the Olympic berth secured, Canada's focus will now shift to preparing for the Games. The team will have two years to build chemistry and develop their game plan. With a talented roster and a proven coach in Nick Nurse, Canada will be a formidable force in Paris.
