The Canadian Senior Men’s Basketball team made a quick stop on home soil for a World Cup Qualifying game on July 1st. In the first of two games played over the weekend, the team faced the Dominican Republic in Hamilton, Ontario on July 1st.
It was a homecoming of sorts for many on the roster who spend most of the year playing in the NBA, and fans took the opportunity to see them in person before a long stint of away games.
The team then headed to the U.S. Virgin Islands for another game on Monday — both games counting towards Canada’s journey of qualifying for the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
