Sixers center Samuel Dalembert is no longer part of the Canadian national basketball team.
After Canada beat Korea in Athens, Greece without Dalembert on Wednesday, Team Canada coach and former Sixer Leo Rautins confirmed the news.
"He's not on the team. I'll leave it at that," Rautins said.
TSN of Canada reported that Dalembert was dismissed after a confrontation with a Canadian team official, presumable Rautins.
After an 86-70 loss to Slovenia on Tuesday, Rautins blasted Dalembert in his postgame news conference.
"He never got on track offensively or defensively. I didn't see him leave the floor to challenge people defensively, and on the offensive end he struggled not only with his shooting but with the decision-making behind the shots," Rautins said.
