What happened: Both Deandre Ayton and VJ Edgecombe were included in the 24-player preliminary group announced in June. The final roster applies to this week's FIBA window.
Why it matters: The games count toward qualification for the 2027 FIBA World Cup. Bahamas enters Group F at 2-4, giving each remaining result immediate standings weight.
By the numbers: Edgecombe has averaged 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.5 steals per game in the qualifiers.
What to watch: Bahamas opens second-round play Thursday. The next roster submission will determine whether either player returns in a later window.
