Danielle Duplessis turned to wheelchair basketball less than two years ago after a number of knee injuries in high school and university ruled her out of playing stand-up basketball at a high level.

 

She played for New Brunswick at the 2019 Canada Winter Games, and has been training for the national team this year. She was named to the roster for Canada’s feature game against the Netherlands in the spring.

 

The Lima 2019 Parapan Am Games will be her first appearance at an international tournament for Canada, and first multi-sport Games.
