Canada Basketball last week announced that five Manitoba-based male athletes were named to its 2026 Men's Selection Camps, which ran April 3-6 at Humber College in Toronto.
Three athletes -- Istvan Reid, Owen Unrau, and Settimo Yugu (pictured alphabetically 2nd, 3rd and 5th respectively above) -- have been named to the U18 Men's Selection Camp, while Kai Becker and Kaj Willms (pictured alphabetically 1st and 4th respectively) attended the U17 Men's Selection Camp, which both ran this past weekend.
The Selection Camps bring together the top male prospects from across the country within Canada Basketball's high-performance pathway. Athletes will be evaluated by national team coaching staff throughout the camp, with final rosters to be determined ahead of this summer's international competition.
The U17 athletes are competing for a spot at the FIBA U17 Men's Basketball World Cup 2026, set for June 27 to July 5 in Istanbul, Turkey. The U18 athletes are vying for a place on the team that will compete at the FIBA U18 Men's AmeriCup 2026.
Congratulations to all the Manitoba athletes who were in Toronto over the past weekend!
