Andrew Wiggins Not Playing for Canada at 2024 Paris Olympics

Andrew Wiggins will not be playing for Team Canada at the 2024 Paris Olympics next month, according to the Athletic’s Anthony Slater. It is a mutual decision of Wiggins and the Golden State Warriors, who hope to find a trade partner for him this summer. Wiggins played 71 games this past season but dealt with an ankle injury. He averaged 13.2 points on 45 percent shooting in 2023-2024.

Wiggins’ last appearance for his home country was in the 2020 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament. He averaged 21.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in three games.

Team Canada is holding training camp in Toronto from June 28-July 7 before taking on the United States in an exhibition game in Las Vegas on July 10. The training camp roster includes 12 NBA players. There are:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Jamal Murray

Dillon Brooks

Lu Dort

R.J. Barrett

Trey Lyles

Andrew Nembhard

Kelly Olynyk

Dwight Powell

Oshae Brissett

Nickeil Alexander-Walker

Zach Edey

Edey was drafted ninth to the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft on Wednesday. Even without Wiggins, Canada still will field a very talented team that can medal, along with the likes of Serbia, France, and Germany.
