Kassius Robertson and Daneesha Provo have been selected as the Toyota Players of the Week for October 19-25.

Robertson, a guard for Monbus Obradoiro in Spain’s Liga ACB, averaged 24 points in his two games over this past week and shot 53% from the field including 6/13 3PT. Before heading to Europe to play professionally in 2018, the Toronto native attended Canisius College for three seasons before transferring to the University of Missouri for his senior year. During his season with the Tigers, Robertson led the team in points, won two SEC Player of the Week Awards and earned All-SEC First-Team honours. Most recently, the 26-year-old made his Canadian National Team debut at the FIBA AmeriCup 2021 Qualifiers in February and played for the Niagara River Lions this past summer in the CEBL Summer Series.

Meanwhile, Provo made an impact in the first game of her professional career with Eisvögel USC Freiburg in Germany's top women's league, Damen-Basketball-Bundesliga (DBBL). She led her team with 15 points and put up five rebounds and two assists. Last season, the 24-year-old from Dartmouth, NS finished off her collegiate career at the University of Utah, where she has spent the past four seasons and become a key member of the Utes. Provo has been a member of the Canadian Women’s National Team program since 2015 and last represented Canada at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, which were held on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Canada Basketball’s Player of the Week is sponsored by Toyota.
