Five Maryland Terrapins are on NBA rosters for the 2026-27 season, spread across 4 teams. The group covers all three position types — guards, forwards, and a center — and ranges in age from 21 to 28.
All 5 players were born in the United States, and 3 of them were born in Baltimore, MD, giving this group a distinctly local flavor relative to the program they attended.
