Andrew Wiggins not listed among 29 invited to Canada Basketball camp - Sportsnet.ca

Canada Basketball unveiled a list of 29 players on Tuesday who have been invited to participate in the senior men’s national team training camp for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, but missing from the list will be one of the nation’s most talented hoopers.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Andrew Wiggins wasn’t included among the list which features NBA rookies R.J. Barrett and Nickeil Alexander-Walker along with NCAA players such as Andrew Nembard, EuroLeaguers like Kevin Pangos and the expected NBA suspects in Jamal Murray, Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph.A finalized list of training camp invitees will be announced prior to the start of camp, which takes place between Aug. 4-6 at OVO Athletic Centre.

Canada plays exhibition contests against Nigeria at Mattamy Athletic Centre on Aug. 7 and Aug. 9 at Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg before the team leaves the country for some more tune-up games in Australia beginning Aug. 16. Canada begins its FIBA World Cup on Sept. 1 against Australia. The Canadians also play Lithuania and Senegal in Group H.

Yeah you can 'Cancel' his invite as he is surprisingly too good to actually attempt to 'try-out' for Team Canada. Probably would have been cut anyway.

His career is such a train wreck right now that it's barely a story he wasn't invited. Way too many good players to waste energy trying to get him to commit.

wiggins is all ego

He should be in top 29 unless there is some unknown injury.

'not listed' doesn't mean he's definitely out - could be something in the works behind the scenes

Is our talent that good that we don't have to invite him? Or if he is hurt, then it's understandable but anything short of that is a mystery to me.

Too much deficiencies in his game. Gotta be a team first guy.
