TORONTO, Ont. (le 12 juin 2023) - Paul Osaruyi et Laeticia Amiehre ont été nommés joueurs Toyota Canada de la semaine du 5 au 11 juin.

Osaruyi a aidé le Canada à remporter la médaille d’argent du Championnat masculin des Amériques FIBA U16 2022. L’ailier de six pieds huit de Scarborough en Ontario a affiché une moyenne de 14,8 points et 8,3 rebonds par match dans le tournoi, ce qui lui a permis de faire partie du cinq de départ du tournoi. Osaruyi est devenu seulement le quatrième Canadien à faire partie du cinq de départ de ce tournoi depuis 2019, rejoignant ainsi Mikkel Tyne, Caleb Houstan et Ryan Nembhard. Sa présence dans l’équipe canadienne a été constante pendant tout le tournoi et il a enregistré un doublé dans quatre des six matchs du Canada.

Amihere a connu le meilleur weekend de sa jeune carrière en WNBA après avoir tiré profit au maximum de ses minutes de jeu sur le banc lors des deux rencontres du Dream d’Atlanta. Amihere a enregistré un record en carrière de huit points à 3 en 3 aux tirs, y compris le premier panier de sa carrière en WNBA, contre le Liberty de New York vendredi soir, et a également enregistré un bloc.

La jeune joueuse originaire de Mississauga en Ontario a enchaîné sur une performance de cinq points dimanche face au Sun du Connecticut ainsi qu’un bloc pour la deuxième rencontre de suite. Elle devient ainsi la première joueuse dans l’histoire de la ligue à enregistrer cinq points et un bloc en moins de trois minutes de jeu. L’ancienne joueuse du Gamecock de South Carolina a joué avec l’équipe nationale senior féminine lors de la Coupe du monde féminine de basketball FIBA 2022 l’automne dernier, où elle a aidé le Canada à terminer à la quatrième place.
