Current NBA Players from Belgium (2023-2024)

Basketball players, and indeed competitors across all athletic fields, carry a badge of honor for their birthplaces. It could be their home state, the neighborhood they grew up in, or the area code they associate with; there’s always a noticeable desire to represent one’s beginnings.

The same holds true for the fan base. There’s an added thrill in supporting a player who shares your state lines or even the same local stomping grounds, especially when that athlete plays for the team you root for above all others.

Bearing this in mind, we scoured through NBA.com to extract the home states or, in some instances, the home countries of every player listed on the active rosters of each team.

Our findings included 2 players originating from the state of Belgium.

Below is a list of both players on NBA rosters at the commencement of the 2023 season, detailing their hometowns and the respective teams they represent.
