Panama missing three key players for Canada qualifier

Panama faces Canada in the FIBA World Cup 2027 qualifiers without Iverson Molinar, Jhivvan Jackson, and Ernesto Oglivie. Molinar is preparing with Buducnost, Jackson is recovering from an ACL injury, and Oglivie is playing in Mexico.

What it means

• Panama starts the second round as last in Group F with a 2-4 record.
• Canada arrives unbeaten with six wins, featuring NBA players like Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luguentz Dort.
• Luis Rodríguez Jr. replaces Jackson, averaging 13 points and 7 rebounds for Panama.

Model read

Panama is notably weakened by the absence of three regulars, especially playmaker Molinar, against a dominant Canadian side, making an upset unlikely.
