Former University of Hawai'i player Carl English scored 11 points in Canada's 120-65 loss to the United States in an exhibition basketball game in Las Vegas tonight.
English, a 6-foot-5 guard, plays professionally in Spain for Kalise Gran Canaria.
With LeBron James out, Dwyane Wade proved he is definitely back.
Wade stepped into the starting lineup and scored 20 points in his first action in more than four months, as the United States opened its exhibition schedule.
James, the NBA's leading scorer, missed the game because of a mildly sprained right ankle, but the Americans have plenty of offense without him. Carmelo Anthony and Michael Redd also finished with 20 points, and Kobe Bryant added 15.
Canada has played games already this summer, failing to reach the Olympics through a qualifying tournament in Greece earlier this month.
