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.
5 current NBA players were born in Spain, making up a notable slice of the league's international contingent for the 2026-27 season. All 5 are listed in the table above, sortable by team, position, height, and age.
The group skews young — the oldest is 25 and the youngest is 20 — and tall, with heights ranging from 6'7" up to 7'3". Forwards dominate the list, with just one center rounding out the group.
Think you'd know these players from their team, height, age and jersey number alone?
