After winning an NBA Championship with the Boston Celtics, Syracuse alumnus\u00a0Oshae Brissett<\/a> has been invited to the Canada National Team Training Camp. The Canadian National Basketball team has only qualified for the Olympics nine times, and recently failed to qualify for the 2020 Olympics. However, because of this setback, they implemented a Summer Core<\/a> group. Members of the Summer Core committed to playing for the Canadian National Team through the 2024 Olympics. Brissett is a member of the Core, and the team will attempt to bring home a medal for the first time since 1936.<\/p>\n

The Training Camp will feature some of the biggest names<\/a> in the NBA, including Jamaal Murray<\/a> and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a>. It\u2019s safe to assume Oshae, a native of Toronto, will make the final roster considering he\u2019s a member of the Summer Core. Other players, such as Melvin Ejim<\/a>, are in danger of losing their spot to someone like Andrew Wiggins<\/a>. Wiggins wasn\u2019t apart of the Summer Core, but will be attending the training camp. Cory Joseph<\/a> was a member of the Summer Core, but will not be attending the 20-man camp.<\/p>\n
