Which Boston Celtics alumni are playing in the 2023 FIBA World Cup?

With veteran Boston Celtics big man Al Horford officially out of the 2023 FIBA World Cup play for the Dominican National Team and fellow Celtics forward Oshae Brissett electing to sit as a precaution in World Cup play for Canada has now left the Celtics with just one player currently still planning to play for their national team.

That would be new Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis, who will suit up for Latvia, leaving the pool of current Boston players still in the World Cup as shallow as can be without being dry. But a number of Celtics alumni are still representing their native lands in the international basketball tournament.
