Centre Chris Boucher and forward Oshae Brissett of the Toronto Raptors have said they intend to play for Canada at an Olympic men’s basketball qualifying tournament next year in Victoria. Montreal’s Boucher has seen increased minutes with the Raptors due to an injury to bench leader Serge Ibaka. “To shut down all the rumours, I (would) love to play for team Canada this summer,” Boucher posted on Twitter. He’s averaging 15.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 32.3 minutes with Raptors 905 of the G League. Canada will host Greece, the Czech Republic, Turkey, China and Uruguay in the last-chance qualifying tournament.
