Which players will fill out the roster for Team Canada ahead of the 2019 FIBA World Cup?

Nearly 30 Canadians were invited to training camp and, similar to Team USA, there have already been several dropouts. Head coach Nick Nurse will need to squeeze as much as he can out of the available players in order to compete in a tough Group H against Australia, Lithuania and Senegal. But he won't be afraid of a challenge after winning the 2019 NBA championship with the Raptors.

With the international tournament fast approaching, here's a breakdown of Team Canada's roster and its FIBA World Cup schedule.
