CHICAGO — Canadian Ryan Nembhard was up in his hotel room at the Marriott Marquis just hours after dominating the G League Elite Camp when he got a knock on his door. He was one of five players notified they had earned an invite to the NBA Draft Combine after an impressive two-day performance in front of NBA scouts and executives. To say the knock on the door for Nembhard was unexpected would be a bit of a lie. “I feel like I should’ve been here in the first place,” said Nembhard.

It was a little less than a year ago when veteran Canadian basketball forward Khem Birch questioned if he would ever play basketball again. He was waived by the San Antonio Spurs after dealing with a recurring right knee injury that forced him in and out of NBA games for two straight seasons and left to figure out what was next for him. “When I got waived, I wasn’t ready. I wasn’t healthy at all. So I’m just like ‘Wow, maybe I might not be able to play,” said Birch.

Canadian basketball big man Dwight Powell vividly remembers the times he shared a hotel room with Kelly Olynyk on national team trips over a decade ago. “We didn’t have all the funding like some of the other national teams so our groups bonded back in those days and Kelly and I spent a lot of time together on the road in different countries,” said Powell. The two longtime Canadian national team members are considered the veteran voices for Canada heading into their first Olympic Games in 24 years.
