Kyle Alexander and Cassandra Brown have been selected as the Toyota Players of the Week for the week from December 6-12.

Alexander led Fuenlabrada (Spain) in scoring and rebounds (17p and 9r) in a win over Zaragoza in the ACB this past week. The forward attended University of Tennessee (NCAA) where as a senior, he averaged 7.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 23.8 minutes per game and helped lead the team to the Sweet Sixteen. The Milton, ON native spent some time in the NBA G-League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce and signed a 2-way contract with the Miami Heat (NBA) in January 2020. In December 2020, Alexander then signed with Fuenlabrada of the Spanish Liga ACB where he averaged 9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in his first season and re-signed with the team for the current season. Alexander most recently represented team Canada at the FIBA World Cup 2023 Americas Qualifiers last month leading Canada to two huge wins over the Bahamas.

In Grengewald’s (Luxembourg) win, Brown led the way with a double-double of 33 points (11/20 FG) and 10 rebounds. Brown continued to stuff the stat sheet with 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Brown previously played for the University of Portland, where she is known for her incredible showing during the NCAA’s three-point contest in their annual skills competition in 2015. She outshot all of her competitors in the women’s category and went on to beat fellow Canadian Kevin Pangos on the men’s side. Brown has been a member of the Canadian national team since 2010 and most recently competed at the Lima 2019 PanAm Games, and attended our Senior Women's National Team camp this past November in Toronto, ON.
