Canada’s men’s basketball roster’s push to qualify for this summer’s Tokyo Olympics got a big boost Monday night, with Golden State Warriors player Andrew Wiggins committing to the squad via Instagram.
“Team Canada 2021,” Wiggins said as he posted an image of him wearing a Maple Leaf, adding a Canadian flag emoji.
“Let’s goooooo,” teammate Stephen Curry commented on the post.
Wiggins put up 18.6 points per game this past season, along with 2.9 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game. It would be his first time representing Canada since 2015.
The team is coached by Raptors head coach Nick Nurse, with Toronto centre Khem Birch also looking to play on the roster.
