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.
488 of the 630 players on an NBA roster this season were born in the United States. 120 were born somewhere else.
As a group they average 6'6", with an average age of 25.8, and appear on 30 of the league's 30 teams. Every row below comes straight from official 2026-27 roster data and the table sorts on any column.
