TORONTO - Two-time NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will once again pull on a Canada Basketball jersey.
Gilgeous-Alexander was the biggest name added to Canada's roster for the upcoming FIBA Men's Basketball World Cup 2027 Americas Qualifiers. Hamilton's TD Coliseum will host two qualifier games as Canada faces Puerto Rico on Friday and Jamaica on July 6.
Canada Basketball general manager Rowan Barrett and head coach Gordie Herbert announced the 16-player roster at a downtown Toronto hotel Monday morning.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, of the Atlanta Hawks, and Dillon Brooks, of the Phoenix Suns, were also named to the team.
Earlier Monday, TD Coliseum announced that Gilgeous-Alexander would have a basketball court designed in his honour.
The Oklahoma City Thunder star became an investor in TD Coliseum earlier this year, supporting his hometown's growth as a destination for sports and entertainment.
The SGA-themed court will debut this week as Hamilton hosts the FIBA Americas Qualifiers.
