Zach Edey's decision to opt out of the Olympics has left a big gap in Canada's roster for the men's basketball team. General Manager Rowan Barrett acknowledges the impact on the roster and team dynamics.

Several veteran players like Dwight Powell, Kelly Olynyk, Kyle Alexander, and Khem Birch provide experience and depth to the team. Head coach Jordi Fernandez will have to strategize to compensate for Edey's absence and maximize the team's versatility.
