MUNICH (Germany) - The fourth window of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 European Qualifiers was highlighted by many NBA players leading their respective nations to big victories in their push to reach next summer's showcase in Qatar.

A total of 24 NBA players competed for their national teams in the window. Spain had the largest NBA contingent with four players - including a couple of notable debuts - while Croatia and France both had three representatives suiting up.

A total of 17 of the 30 NBA franchises had NBA players appearing across the continent, topped with a trio from Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, and Utah Jazz.

Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra was also on hand in Pesaro to see Simone Fontecchio face off against teammate Nikola Jovic in the big Italy vs Serbia showdown.
