Canada announced their 2023 FIBA World Cup training camp roster on Thursday with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Lu Dort — unsurprisingly — highlighting the group.

Gilgeous-Alexander will represent his country after enjoying the best season of his young career thus far. In 68 games last season, he averaged 31.4 points on 51% shooting, 5.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds. The 25-year-old earned All-NBA first-team honors for the first time in his career.

The Oklahoma City Thunder duo joins several other NBA players on the 18-man extended roster. This includes Gilgeous-Alexander’s cousin Nickeil Alexander-Walker. The team will be coached by Jordi Fernandez — who is an assistant coach for the Sacramento Kings.

Training camp will last from Aug. 1 to Aug. 6. Team Canada will then play five games in Germany and Spain from Aug. 9 to Aug. 18. The group stages of the FIBA World Cup are scheduled to begin on Aug. 25.
