Three NBL Next Stars have made the roster for the FIBA window that will take place after Round 9. All games that will be played during this window are part of the Qualifying rounds for the Continental Cups. 

Izan Almansa will make his senior National Team debut with the Spanish side in November. After one of the most successful careers in youth competitions, which included two MVP Awards at the U17 and U19 World Cups, the Wildcats’ big man is scheduled to take the court for EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers against the same opponent, Slovakia, both away (November 23, 4:00am AEDT) and at home (November 26, 6:00am AEDT). 

Karim Lopez will make a return to the Mexican team after competing with them at the recent Olympic Qualifying Tournament in July. He will compete in two away games in Nicaragua (November 22, 12:10pm AEST) and Canada (November 25, 7:10am AEST) to help his side advance to the AmeriCup 2025. 

The Boomers are also scheduled to compete during the FIBA window, and Next Star big man Rocco Zikarsky will be joining them as they travel to Thailand (November 21, 11:00pm AEST) and South Korea (November 24, 5:00pm AEST). Both games will count towards qualification for the FIBA Asia Cup in 2025.
