Commonwealth Games

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but does anyone know why Canada are not sending either Men's or Women's Basketball teams to Melbourne in March.
They are still part of the Commonwealth and I would have thought that thye would have been one of the stronger nations in Basketball, even without their NBA Players.

I dont know about the women's team but none of the canadian nba players were going to come so the mens team pulled out. Steve Nash is canadian isnt he - sorry dont follow the nba that much - it would have been cool to see a player of his calibre come out to Australia and play.

you beat me to it! yes it wouldve been awsome seeing the reining NBA season MVP come to melbourne, but seeing as the NBA season doesnt stop for things like this, they would rather stay over there andd keep playing for their home teams.
