Among notable names that will not be in attendance are Raptors forward Chris Boucher, who missed 12 of his team's final 13 games with an MCL injury, and Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who missed the final 29 games of the season with a plantar fascia issue.
Kevin Pangos, who is currently in discussions for a contract extension as an impending free agent in Europe, is another notable name that will not be present at June's training camp.
Canada, which has not qualified for Men's Basketball at the Summer Olympics since the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia, has a prime opportunity to do so in 2021. Team Canada must win the six-team Olympic Qualifier it is set to host in order to secure a spot in the upcoming Olympic Games.
The other five nations it will compete with are Greece, Czech Republic, Turkey, China and Uruguay. Given the timing of the tournament, which will take place in the thick of the 2021 NBA Playoffs, some national teams might not have all of their NBA talent available.
