TORONTO (July 30, 2026) \u2013 Canada Basketball announced today the roster that will represent Canada at the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series stop in Tokyo, Japan, taking place August 1-2.<\/p>\n
Canada enters the tournament as the No. 2 seed and has been drawn into Pool B alongside Mitsubishi Electric (JPN) and Romania. Round-robin play begins Saturday, August 1, against Romania at 3:50 a.m. ET, followed by Mitsubishi Electric (JPN) at 5:50 a.m. ET. All games will be streamed live on CBC Gem and FIBA 3×3\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
Returning to the roster are Paige Crozon, Katherine Plouffe, Merissah Russell and Cassandra Brown, who helped Canada finish runner-up at the Marseille stop earlier this month. Crozon, Plouffe and Russell all finished among the tournament\u2019s top five in player value, while Brown played a key role in Canada\u2019s semifinal win over France, shooting a perfect 100 per cent from the field. The group will look to build on that performance and make another run to the final in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
Daniel Ferguson returns as head coach after guiding Canada to a Women\u2019s Series title in Shanghai in May, as well as titles in Edmonton, Bordeaux, and Shanghai in the 2025 Women\u2019s Series season.<\/p>\n
