2010 FIBA World Championship - Squads

Squads

At the start of tournament, all 24 participating countries had 12 players on their rosters. Final squads for the tournament were due on August 26, two days before the start of competition.

Angola and the United States of America were the only teams made up of entirely domestic players (Jordan and Russia each had 11 domestic players). Slovenia was the only team composed entirely of individuals playing outside the domestic league. The Canada squad also consisted entirely of individuals playing outside the country, but at that time Canada had no professional league operating exclusively in the country (a minor professional league was scheduled to begin play in 2011). The National Basketball Association, based in the U.S., has a Canadian team, and several minor leagues operate on both sides of the U.S.–Canada border. Four Canadian squad members played in U.S.-based competitions—two with U.S.-based NBA teams, and two for the same U.S. college team. Forty-one NBA players were selected to compete in the tournament, the most of any league.
