ULAANBAATAR — The Canadian men dropped two games Thursday to miss the playoff cut at the FIBA 3×3 World Cup.

France defeated Canada 21-18 in the early game. Aaron Rhooms and Grant Audu scored eight points apiece for the Canadians.

Puerto Rico beat Canada 21-17 later in the day. Jerome Desrosiers had eight points and four rebounds in the loss that left Canada at 1-3.

“I’m most proud of the way we fought,” Desrosiers said. “This is a pretty young team in terms of 3×3 experience, so the way we stayed together throughout the whole experience is something to be proud of for sure.”

The Canadian women (2-2) were scheduled to meet Japan in a play-in game Friday.
