The Canadian men’s basketball team will have one NBA player less as they continue with their training camp ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
The team announced that Oshae Brissett, who last played for the Boston Celtics, has been dropped from the training camp roster.
The 26-year-old requested to withdraw from training camp to focus on the ongoing NBA free agency, where he is currently available in the open market.

The Toronto-born player recently chose to decline a $2.5 million player option with the Celtics for the 2024-25 season to enter free agency.
However, the former Syracuse Orange has not ruled out a return to the reigning NBA champions.
