One less potential new rotation player for Canada. The Maple Leaf selection announced the departure ofOshae Brissett from his training camp, the player preferring to concentrate on his NBA contract situation, rather than fighting for a spot at the Paris Olympics.
Young NBA champion with the Celtics, the winger asked to leave training camp to take care of his “free agency”. We recall that he decided to decline his “player option” of 2.5 million dollars.
His decision to leave camp came a week before the Canadian team travels to Las Vegas to face Team USA on July 10.
According to the Boston Globethe Celtics and Oshae Brissett would have a mutual interest in continuing the adventure together. The challenge will undoubtedly be to agree on the price, as well as the role of the former Pacers player. This season, he played an average of 11 minutes per game and his role was even more reduced during the playoffs.
In any case, this is a new defection for this always dense Canadian selection, which has already recorded the withdrawals of Andrew Wiggins and Zach Edey.
