When does Canada men's basketball team play? Full Canada Olympic team scheduleGetty

Canada returns to the Olympic men's basketball tournament for the first time since the year 2000, and they are carrying big expectations on their shoulders.

Team Canada GM Rowan Barrett was part of the squad that played in Sydney 24 years ago and now his son, Toronto Raptors guard R.J. Barrett, is among the NBA stars hoping to bring home a medal this summer.

Barrett's teammate in Toronto, Kelly Olynyk, serves as team captain and Canada will boast arguably the best backcourt in Paris with Shai Gilgerous-Alexander and Jamal Murray.

Here are the games the Canadians will play during their Olympic journey.
