Birthplace, not citizenship. These lists group players by the country they were born in, which is what the public roster data records. A player born in one country may hold another nationality, may have grown up elsewhere, and may represent a different country internationally.
Three NBA players born in Bosnia and Herzegovina are on 2026-27 rosters, each born in a different city: Mostar, Tuzla, and Zenica. All three came up through European basketball without playing college ball in the United States.
This page lists only players by birthplace. Being born in Bosnia and Herzegovina does not imply anything about a player's citizenship, passport, or international basketball representation.
