Team Canada's contest against Spain will also feature a battle against Houston's former first-round pick, Usman Garuba. The Rockets drafted the former EuroLeague Rising Star prospect with their No. 23 selection during the 2021 NBA Draft. Garuba appeared in 99 games with three starts during his two-year stint with the Rockets. Team Spain is entering the game with a 1-1 record.

Over the first two games, Brooks has averaged 15.0 points on 50.0 percent shooting from the field and a sizzling 71.4 percent shooting from deep. Brooks' influence on Team Canada is similar to his impact in Houston. During the 2023-24 season, Brooks played a significant role in the Rockets' 41-41 season, where he averaged 12.7 points on 42.8 percent shooting in 72 games.
