With our luck Sammy will probably suffer some sort of injury while playing, which will first be reported as a minor injury that takes two weeks to recover. However, in usual Sammy fashion he will not return from it until January.
Dalmert grew up in Montreal and spent a fair amount of time in Canada. He's not just national team shopping here. Besides, if he was i doubt Canada would be his first choice.

"We've heard nothing yet. However, we are very optimistic," Leo Rautins, the former Sixer and current Canadian national team coach, said in an e-mail. Dalembert's agent, Marc Cornstein, had a similar reaction. "I have been given every indication he'll play for the Canadian national team," Cornstein said by phone. The problem has been establishing Canadian citizenship. Dalembert is not a Canadian citizen but is considered a landed immigrant. He holds a Haitian passport.</div> Source: Philly.com
