TORONTO — Three NBA players are on the tryout roster for Canada’s men’s basketball team for the Pan American Games.

The players will participate in a six-day tryout starting July 12 at Air Canada Centre.

There were 12 Canadians in the NBA this past season, the second-highest country total behind the United States.

Wiggins, from Vaughan, Ont., averaged 16.9 points a game with the Minnesota Timberwolves and was named NBA rookie of the year.
