The Canadian NT announced its 21-player selection for the upcoming training camp ahead of the Pre-Olympic Qualifying Tournament, though there are notable absences, including that of EuroLeague All-First Team selectee guard Kevin Pangos.
Pangos just finished the season with Zenit, as the Russian club reached the EuroLeague quarterfinals where they lost to Barcelona and the VTB League semifinals, with CSKA advancing in the finals.
