San Antonio will lead the way for the third consecutive season with nine international players. The Minnesota Timberwolves and Brooklyn Nets have six apiece, the Golden State Warrios five and eight teams have four.

Canada leads countries with 12 players in the league, France has 10 while Australia and Brazil have eight and seven, respectively.
