The Kings' Trey Lyles will suit up against Scottie Barnes and the Raptors in Vancouver. In Montreal, superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and hometown hero Luguentz Dort will have a chance to impress in their home country.

Despite not having any Canadians on the team, the Pistons still have lots of good talent worth seeing. Former first-overall pick Cade Cunningham will lead the Pistons alongside recent sophomore Jaden Ivey and 2023 fifth-overall pick Ausar Thompson will get some time to get acclimated to the NBA.

Dort posted a message for his hometown crowd.

Last season, Complex Canada attended the Raptors' sold-out pre-season game in Montreal.
