Head coach Mike Brown picked eight National Basketball Association (NBA) players in his final group after a month-long training camp in Las Vegas and Oakland in the United States.

A 49-man preliminary squad was originally picked, with this then trimmed to 16.

Jordan Nwora is among the NBA stars named, with his Milwaukee Bucks side becoming NBA champions today after a 4-2 series win over Phoenix Suns.

As a result of his involvement, Nwora will link up with the side later.

Precious Achiuwa, Caleb Agada, Obi Emegano, Chimezie Metu, Ike Nwamu, Jahlil Okafor, Josh Okogie, Kezie Okpala, Miye Oni, Ekpe Udoh and Nnamdi Vincent complete the squad.

Nigeria has competed at the last three Summer Olympics and finished 11th at London 2012.

Brown's men claimed a notable 90-87 win over the United States, the 15-time and reigning Olympic champions, during their training camp.

The preparations of the Nigerian women's team have been impacted after the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected the eligibility of Nneka Ogwumike and Elizabeth Williams, who wanted to switch allegiances from the US.
