This is a list of Papua New Guineans that are playing basketball abroad.  The majority of players were born in Papua New Guinea making them eligible to play for the National Team and play as a Cotonou player in several European countries.  With the exception of Joachim Thoss (203-C-81, agency: AMG Sports) the rest could play for PNG.  An inclusion of the Opio brothers and Raga Veratau (176-G) could give a stronger line-up as PNG battles to became a strong basketball nation in the region. No women’s players from PNG are playing abroad that we know of.
