Andrew Wiggins Would Be 'Honored' To Play For Canada In Paris Olympics

Jun 3, 2024 12:01 AM

Andrew Wiggins said that he would be honored to represent Canada in the upcoming Paris Olympics this summer.

“I’d be honored to play for our country but we’ll see what happens,” said Wiggins.

Wiggins did not agree to a three-year commitment to the team in 2021 and was not on the team that qualified for the Olympics. As such, Wiggins is not guaranteed a roster spot.

Wiggins will receive a camp invite for an opportunity to fill one of three open roster spots.
