This past week, the four FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments took place with 23 National teams participating. The lone OKC Thunder participant was Canadian Luguentz Dort who made the 12 player roster cut.

Unlike RJ Barrett and Andrew Wiggins who grew up playing for the National team, this was the first time Dort had tried out. Raptors head coach Nick Nurse was at the helm for the second year running.
