It's another record-breaking season for Canadians in the NBA.
Prior to the 2022-23 season tipping off, the league announced that there were a total of 22 Canadians on opening-night rosters. Not only did that make it the most-represented country outside of the United States once again — Australia came in second with 10 players — but it set a new Canadian record.
Headlined by Andrew Wiggins, Jamal Murray, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, RJ Barrett, Bennedict Mathurin and Shaedon Sharpe, Canada has no shortage of talent.
