The NBA season feels like it’s right around the corner following the release of the 2022-23 schedule earlier today.
While most people may have been parsing through the schedule to see when the Warriors, Bucks, Lakers or Celtics may be playing, we know that Aussie fans also want to know when they’ll be able to watch the Australian players go head-to-head head against each other.
The Sporting News has you covered in regards to when Australians play each other in the NBA.
Which Australians are in the NBA this season?
Currently, 11 Australians are on NBA rosters.
That number may change as we get closer to the start of the regular season and teams finalize their squads.

When do the Australians in the NBA play each other?
Aussies in the league currently represent four Eastern Conference teams and six teams in the Western Conference.
A new era of players in the NBA is being ushered in as Josh Giddey and Dyson Daniels look to lead Australian basketball for the next decade.
The old guard isn’t done playing yet, though, as Patty Mills will look to try to secure his second career NBA championship, this time with the Brooklyn Nets.
Joe Ingles is rehabbing a season-ending left ACL tear that he suffered on Jan. 30. He is expected back sometime around the All-Star break, which is why we have included Bucks games from February onward.
