The fourth window of qualifying games for the 2027 FIBA World Cup is underway, and several NBA players are representing their national teams in those contests, which will take place from August 27-31.<\/p>\n
Each team will play two games during the fourth of six qualifying windows as they battle for a spot in the 2027 World Cup, which will take place in Qatar.<\/p>\n
Even though some of Thursday\u2019s games are already underway, not every roster for this window has been officially finalized. However, based on our research, it appears there will be 36 players on active NBA rosters participating in the various qualifiers that will be played all over the world.<\/p>\n
That number could \u2013 and likely will \u2013 fluctuate in the next day or two as rosters are confirmed, but here are the NBA players expected to compete this week, sorted by FIBA region:<\/p>\n
