Andrew Wiggins wants to play for Canada in the 2024 Paris Olympics

Andrew Wiggins has aspirations to represent Canada in next year’s Olympics as they make their return to the Summer Games for the first time since Sydney 2000.

“Yeah, I would love to,” he said to Sportskeeda.com.

What are the odds of them translating their third-place finish at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 in Manila into a gold medal in Paris?

“I think our chances are good,” Wiggins said. “We have a great team.”

Canada showcased excellence in Jakarta, securing victories in four out of five games, with their only setback being a second-round loss to Brazil.

Building on their strong 4-1 start, they clinched a Quarter-Final win against Slovenia. Despite a Semi-Final loss to Serbia, they rebounded with a victory in the Third-Place Game against the USA.

This podium finish marked a historic achievement for Canada, being their first at either the World Cup or the Olympics.
