USA Basketball has announced its 12-man roster for the upcoming FIBA World Cup qualifying window, with games scheduled later this month.
Team USA will face the Dominican Republic on February 26 and Mexico on March 1 at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California.
The roster includes guards Tevian Jones, Taevion Kinsey, Brandon Knight, Dakota Mathias, Elfrid Payton, and Jaden Shackelford; forwards Malcolm Hill, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, David Roddy, and Terry Taylor; and centers Jeremiah Tilmon and James Wiseman.
Knight, Shackelford, and Tilmon also played during the first qualifying window in the fall, when head coach Stephen Silas led the U.S. to two wins over Nicaragua and a 2-0 start.
Wiseman headlines the new additions after appearing for the Indian Pacers earlier this season before becoming a free agent in December.
Payton, Robinson-Earl, Roddy, and Taylor add recent NBA experience to the group.
The current window is the second of six qualifiers for the 2027 FIBA World Cup, giving emerging players an opportunity to represent Team USA and help secure a spot in the tournament.
