A list of NBA players who’ll be participating in Rio, as well as those who will be sitting out.
We know Team USA is the favorite to take home the gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics. But America isn’t the only country bringing NBA players to Rio de Janeiro for the games.
Of course, as is the case every four years, a number of high-profile players have decided to skip the games. Still, there will be 48 current NBA players competing in this summer’s Olympics. Below is a full list of those non-Americans heading to Rio, as well as those who will be staying home for various reasons.
You can see who’s in and out for Team USA over here. Here’s the situation for the other 11 countries.

Argentina
In
Nicolas Brussino (Mavericks): This will be the 23-year-old swingman’s first Olympics. Brussino was signed by the Mavericks in the summer after putting up 14.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game last season in Argentina’s Liga Nacional de Básquet, the country’s top league.
Manu Ginobili (Spurs): The Argentinian legend returns to the Olympics for the fourth time. Ginobili, 39, was one of the leaders of the Argentinian team that took home gold at the 2002 World Championships and 2004 Olympics.
Luis Scola (Nets): He and Ginobili are the last two men standing from those gold medal squads. This will be Scola’s fourth Olympics.
Patricio Garino (Spurs): Another young player making his Olympic debut, Garino recently signed with San Antonio after representing the Magic in the Summer League. You might be familiar with him, as he played the past four seasons in college at George Washington.
Out
Pablo Prigioni (Rockets): Back in March, Prigioni announced on Twitter that he was pulling himself from consideration for Rio.
Australia
In
Aron Baynes (Pistons): This will be the 29-year-old Baynes’ second Olympics. The Pistons’ big man is coming off a solid season as Andre Drummond’s backup.
Andrew Bogut (Mavericks): Fresh off being traded to Dallas to make room for Kevin Durant, Bogut is suiting up for his fourth Olympics.
Matthew Dellavedova (Bucks): He’s won an NBA championship and signed a four-year, $38 million deal with Milwaukee this summer. Any accolades he adds on during the Olympics will be gravy. That includes this dagger to defeat Argentina in a warm-up exhibition.
Joe Ingles (Jazz): The 28-year-old swingman averaged four points in 15 minutes per game last year for Utah.
Patty Mills (Spurs): Mills averaged a tournament-high 21.2 points per game during the 2012 Beijing Olympics.
Out
Dante Exum (Jazz): The young Utah point guard averaged just 2.7 points per game during the 2014 FIBA World Championships. He’s also still making his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in August 2015.
Ben Simmons (Sixers): The 2016 No. 1 pick decided to pass on the Olympics so that he could focus on preparing for his rookie season.
Brazil
In
Leandro Barbosa (Suns): The 33-year-old guard signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the Suns this offseason.
Nene (Rockets): Nene also signed with a new team this offseason. It will be up to him and Barbosa to carry the scoring load for Brazil as they try to medal at home.
Marcelo Huertas (Lakers): This will be Huertas’ second time playing in the Olympics. He averaged 4.5 points as a rookie in the NBA last year after a storied career in Europe.
Raul Neto (Jazz): Neto, a 6’1 point guard, was the youngest member of Brazil’s national team during the 2010 FIBA Americas Under-18 tournament.
Cristiano Felicio (Bulls): One of the Summer League’s breakout stars, Felicio was a late addition to the roster after Anderson Varejao pulled out.
Out
Bruno Caboclo (Raptors): Caboclo was dubbed “two years away from being two years away” by ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla after being drafted by the Raptors 20th overall in 2014. Perhaps that applies to his Olympic career as well.
Lucas Nogueira (Raptors): A seven-footer drafted by the Celtics in 2013, Nogueira has yet to suit up for Brazil in Olympic competition.
Tiago Splitter (Hawks): Splitter underwent hip surgery in February, which will keep him off the team.
Anderson Varejao (Warriors): Varejao was pulled off the roster in late July due to a back injury. He was replaced by Felicio.
China
In
Zhou Qi (Rockets): The Rockets selected the 7’2 Qi in the second round of the 2016 NBA Draft, though it’s hard to see him actually playing for the team this year.
Out
Nobody of note.
Croatia
In
Bojan Bogdanovic (Nets): Bogdanovic averaged 11 points in 27 minutes per game last year for Brooklyn, his second in the NBA. He should be Croatia’s leading scorer.
Mario Hezonja (Magic): The fifth pick in the 2015 NBA Draft will be competing in the Olympics for the first time. He did play a smaller role in the 2014 FIBA World Cup.
Dario Saric (Sixers): He spent two years in Turkey after being drafted 12th overall in 2014. Saric finally signed with Philadelphia this summer, so Sixers fans should pay close attention to his Olympic performance.
Out
Dragan Bender (Suns): The No. 4 pick in this year’s draft will focus on getting ready for his rookie season.
Ivica Zubac (Lakers): Zubac was selected by the Lakers 32nd overall in this year’s draft. Despite impressing in Summer League, he will sit out this tournament.
Damjan Rudez (free agent): The former Pacers and Timberwolves forward is seeking a new NBA team and won’t play in Rio.
France
In
Nicolas Batum (Hornets): The Hornets wing is fresh off signing a five-year, $120 million contract, but will play in the Olympics anyway. He averaged 15.5 points and 5.7 rebounds for France in 2012 .
Boris Diaw (Jazz): The 34-year-old forward is coming off a down season in which he averaged just 6.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. Still, he’s one of the leaders of the French team.
Rudy Gobert (Jazz): Gobert is one of the top non-Americans in the field. He averaged nine points, 11 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game during an injury-plagued season last year.
Joffrey Lauvergne (Nuggets): A 6’11 big man, he appeared in 59 games for the Nuggets last season.
Tony Parker (Spurs): Now 34 years old, this will likely be the last Olympic appearance for France’s greatest player of all time.
Out
Alexis Ajinca (Pelicans): Was one of the final players cut by head coach Vincent Collet.
Petr Cornelie (Nuggets): Cornelie is a 2016 second-round pick who has never suited up for the senior national team.
Evan Fournier (Magic): Fournier was supposed to play in this tournament, but was strangely left off the roster by Collet because he sat out a qualifying tournament. If France disappoints, that decision may come back to bite the France post.
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (Sixers): Luwawu-Cabarrot was drafted 24th overall by Philadelphia this summer, but won’t be playing.
Ian Mahinmi (Wizards): Mahinmi just signed a $64 million deal with Washington, but also stayed home during the qualifying tournament.
Joakim Noah (Knicks): The longtime France star Is skipping the Olympics for the second straight time. Presumably, he’s doing so to give his body some time off.
Lithuania
In
Mindaugas Kuzminskas (Knicks): Kuzminskas, a 6’9 small forward, signed with the Knicks this offseason.
Jonas Valanciunas (Raptors): Valanciunas is Lithuania’s most recognizable player, though his national team performances have occasionally been inconsistent. He averaged 13 points and nine rebounds per game last season for the Raptors.
Domantas Sabonis (Thunder): The son of Lithuanian legend Arvydas Sabonis. Domantas was drafted by the Magic in the first round this year and then sent to the Thunder as part of the Serge Ibaka deal.
Out
Donatas Motiejunas (free agent): Motiejunas, who played for the Rockets last season, will not play because of his current free agent status.
Nigeria
In
Michael Gbinije (Pistons): The rookie guard, who was picked No. 49 overall by Detroit in this year’s NBA draft, makes the roster despite suffering an ankle injury in early July. He missed Summer League, but will be suiting up in Rio.
Out
Al-Farouq Aminu (Blazers): Aminu had been participating in training camp with the team, but recently pulled out due to unresolved insurance issues with the country’s basketball federation.
Festus Ezeli (Blazers): Ezeli is missing the Olympics for the same reason as Aminu. He had been training with the team, but couldn’t come to an agreement on insurance terms for his NBA contract.
Serbia
In
Nikola Jokic (Nuggets): The 6’10 big man is coming off an impressive rookie campaign, in which he averaged 10 points and seven rebounds per game. This will be his first time playing in the Olympics.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (Kings): The 2014 Suns first-round draftee has yet to play in the NBA, but is expected to come over eventually. He was traded to Sacramento during the 2016 NBA Draft.
Out
Nemanja Bjelica (Timberwolves): A right foot injury will keep the forward from competing.
Boban Marjanovic (Pistons): The former Spur had to spend the summer negotiating his new contract with the Pistons, so he’s missing out on Rio.
Spain
In
Alex Abrines (Thunder): The 6’6, 23-year-old swingman just signed a three-year, $18 million deal with Oklahoma City.
Jose Calderon (Lakers): The 34-year-old has been part of the last two Spanish Olympic basketball teams, both of which have won silver medals.
Pau Gasol (Spurs): This will be Gasol’s fourth Olympic Games. He remains the pillar of the team.
Willy Hernangomez (Knicks): The 6’11 center was drafted by the Sixers in the second round of the 2015 Draft and then traded to the Knicks on draft day. He signed with New York in July.
Nikola Mirotic (Bulls): This will be the 25-year-old’s first time playing in the Olympics, though he did play a big role on Spain’s 2014 FIBA World Cup team.
Sergio Rodriguez (Sixers): The 30-year-old point guard spent the last six seasons playing for Real Madrid before coming back to the NBA and signing with the Sixers this offseason. He had previously broken in with Portland.
Ricky Rubio (Timberwolves): Rubio’s impressive performance in the 2008 Gold Medal Game against Team USA as a 17-year-old vaunted him to the top of the 2009 NBA Draft. Eight years later, he’ll return as Spain’s likely starting point guard.
Out
Marc Gasol (Grizzlies): He’s still recovering from the foot surgery he underwent in February.
Serge Ibaka (Magic): Orlando’s new big man did not enjoy his Olympics experience in 2012 and will not play with Spain this year.
Venezuela
In
There are no current (or even former) NBA players on Venezuela’s roster.
Out
Greivis Vasquez (Nets): Vasquez was expected to play, but after undergoing ankle surgery last December, he announced in July that he’s skipping the Olympics to continue his recovery. It’s worth noting that Vasquez also sat out during Venezuela’s qualifying-clinching victory over Canada in the 2015 FIBA Americas Tournament.
