7 Huge NBA Games For Canadian Hoops Fans
- Minnesota Timberwolves vs Philadelphia 76ers (Minnesota: Nov. 23 – Philadelphia: Jan. 4)
Former Sacramento Kings Draft Pick Nik Stauskas Has Been Traded To The Philadelphia 76ers// via nba.com
The Wolves and 76ers are two of the youngest teams in the NBA, making this an interesting matchup as it is. Rising star, Andrew Wiggins, is the face of Canadian basketball, coming out of Vaughan, ON. He and Canadian power forward Anthony Bennett were acquired via trade last summer. Philadelphia recently acquired Canadian three-point specialist, Nik Stauskas, who was originally drafted by the Sacramento Kings in 2014. The former Michigan Wolverine will add more Canadian blood to this matchup, along with Wiggins and Bennett. Because these two teams are young and need time to develop, you may see more players displaying their individual talent rather than play team basketball; somewhat similar to how All-Star Games are played. Games featuring these two teams will not necessarily be quality basketball games from a team standpoint, but it should be good to see a few young Canadians display their skill sets.
