Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett were in Canada on Wednesday for the Timberwolves-Raptors game and the two got the opportunity to meet Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
The meeting made sense, given that both Wiggins and Bennett hail from Toronto. However, Harper apparently got his NBA players mixed up judging by this since-deleted Tweet.

Yes, Stephen Harper mistook Anthony Bennett for Raptors guard Kyle Lowry.
Just to clear the air, this is Kyle Lowry:
And this is Anthony Bennett.
They don’t look much alike at all.
Harper quickly put up a new Tweet that correctly identifies the two men that he met for his photo op.
Pleased to meet Cda's top basketball talent @22wiggins & @AnthonyBennett before @CanBball Night. pic.twitter.com/4oC2d9hBUs
