The World’s top talent will face off against the top American talent in the 27th Nike Hoop Summit.
The event will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.
The 2026 World Select men’s roster includes the likes of Maximo Adams, Ikenna Alozie, Tajh Ariza, Adam Atamna, Arafan Diane, Sinan Huan, Sayon Keita, Lucas Morillo, Miikka Muurinen, Baba Oladotun, Miles Sadler and Abdou Toure.
One of the most interesting names on the list is certainly Miikka Muurinen. He impressed the public at EuroBasket 2025, then came to Partizan, but his stay in Belgrade ended quickly.
Muurinen did not find a role under Zeljko Obradovic, later not even under Joan Penarroya, so the 18-year-old left Serbia at the end of February. After leaving Partizan, Muurinen stated that this experience was really necessary for him.
“This was exactly what I needed. I wanted a taste of professional basketball and to learn from a great coach. Partizan was a fantastic place to play, and I grew a lot as a person in just six months.”
