Not sure if he committed, but I know he has a good relationship with them and communicates with them.
Isn't he up for a contract extension? That could factor in pretty heavily if he hasn't signed an extension by the tourney
I know Team Canada is running a camp at the beginning of August and travelling for like 6 warm up games and asking for a 2 month commitment from anybody whos gonna play.
It's a lot to ask of guys in their offseason so i think it might scare some guys away who don't have the stability of a long term contract

He said he was gonna spend most of the summer in Toronto and someone asked if he was playing for team canada. He kinda just said “we’ll see”.
He could sign an extension this offseason but he’s under contract next year, and they’ll probably let him become an RFA so they have 2 summers to try to land a big FA.

Drake donated a million dollars to them not too long ago.
Maybe OVO is gonna take over as the lead sponsor from Bell.
I know they're cash strapped so I'm sure they'll be happy with it
A team Canada OVO jersey could be pretty cool
Team USA is not stacked
Canada got a chance

Nurse confirmed he'll be coaching
Olynyk confirmed he'll play but that was never really in doubt.
Rowan Barrett said Wiggins has committed to playing this summer, which is huge for us because the 2/3 is our weakest spot
Stauskas mentioned earlier in the year that he'll play.
So I'd say as of now, the guys you can pretty much guarantee will be there are
Cory, Wiggins, Stauskas, Olynyk, Tristan, Dwight Powell, Khem Birch
I think Dillon Brooks if healthy goes for sure
Shai has been in senior camps previously so i think he goes
Zion is going to be at the team USA camp, so that bodes well for RJ getting the ok to play.
Haven't heard or seen anything on Murray. Having him would be a bigger get than Wiggins
Olynyk confirmed he'll play but that was never really in doubt.

“Canadian basketball is really on the rise,” R.J. Barrett said later. “Probably six, maybe more, in the draft this year. We have probably four of us going in the first round. So it’s just amazing. Canada Basketball is on the rise. We’re going to have to cut some NBA players from the team this summer. But it’s great.”
RJ talking like he wants to play.
