It's now or never for the Canadian men's national basketball team.
Led by Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse, Canada plays host to a last-chance qualifying tournament for the 2020 Summer Olympics. Held in Victoria, B.C., the six-team competition is one of four being played concurrently around the world as the final four spots for Tokyo are up for grabs.
Greece and China join Canada in Group A of the Victoria competition, with Group B made up of Uruguay, Czech Republic and Turkey. Only one of the six teams will book a ticket to Japan, so the margin for error is almost non-existent.
Nurse's men hope that a little bit of home-court advantage might be enough to push them to the country's first men's Olympic berth since 2000.
