In the previous group match of the Men's Basketball Team America's Group B, Canada defeated Venezuela 88-54, achieving a good start in the Copa America, while Venezuela suffered a blow.

In this game, Canada's starting center Mfiondu Kabengele performed quite well. Carben Gaile played 21 minutes and 18 seconds in the whole game, 5 of 7 shots, 2 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 5 free throws, and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. There were 4 turnovers and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative values ​​also reached +27, the highest number of the game. Carben Gaile is in excellent condition on the offensive end and has shown comprehensive scoring ability. Not only can he create threats in the opponent's interior, but his confidence in shooting from outside is beyond everyone's expectations. With few shots, Kaben Gale also scored a lot of points and provided a lot of support for the team on the offensive end. Kaben Gale's performance on the defensive end is also quite outstanding, and he also showed his outstanding ability to protect the basket and defend the inside. Overall, Kaben Gaile has played his characteristics and value on both offense and defense, and his series of outstanding performances are also an important factor in the team's ability to achieve such a big victory.

Caben Gelai was born in August 1997. He is 28 years old, 208cm tall and weighs 113kg. He is the inside player selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 27th pick in the first round in the 2019 NBA Draft. Although he is a first-round pick, Carbon Gaile's development in the NBA are not ideal. In the Clippers who selected him, he simply didn't get enough playing time and performance opportunities. After leaving the Clippers, he also had no way to gain a foothold in the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics. In the NBA, Carbon Gaile has played 55 times in total, averaging only 6.9 minutes per game, averaging 2.6 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.3 blocks, as well as 0.3 turnovers and 0.9 fouls, shooting percentage of 38.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 30.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 85.2%.

Since the summer of 2023, he has also chosen to switch to the overseas league because he cannot get a contract from the NBA team. Cabenguele has played in Serie A and Greek League. Last season, he played for Serie A team Umana Venezia. Last season, he played 53 times in all competitions, averaging 26.6 minutes per game, averaging 15.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1 steal, 0.7 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 55.4%, three-point shooting percentage 32%, and free throw shooting percentage 71.9%. In fact, Carben Gaile's performance in the European arena is quite good. His performance on both offense and defense is very distinctive, especially on the offense, he seems to be growing into a good space-type inside player. I wonder if Carbon Gaile's performance can attract the attention of NBA teams. If he can also perform during the Copa America, maybe he will really have a chance to return to the NBA in the future?
