There are currently no Indian NBA players.

This is somewhat surprising, considering the popularity of basketball in India. The sport is played at the high school and collegiate level, and there are several professional leagues. But, so far, no Indian-born player has made it to the NBA.

There have been a few Indian-born players who have played in the NBA.

They include Satnam Singh Bhamara, Sim Bhullar, and Palpreet Singh Brar. All three were born in India, but raised in Canada, and all three began their professional careers in the NBA Development League (now the G League). None of them have been able to stick on an NBA roster for an extended period of time.

The most notable Indian-born player in the NBA is Satnam Singh, who was the first Indian-born player to be drafted into the NBA.

Satnam Singh Bhamara (born December 10, 1995) is an Indian professional basketball player who last played for the Texas Legends of the NBA G League. He was the 52nd overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft, making him the first player from India to be drafted by an NBA team. Failed drug tests and concerns about his work ethic led to Singh being waived by the Mavericks in October 2016. He was subsequently picked up by the Texas Legends. In February 2019, Singh announced his retirement from basketball.

Sim Bhullar (born December 2, 1992) is a Canadian professional basketball player for the Sacramento Kings of the NBA. He played college basketball for New Mexico State University. On July 10, 2014, Bhullar made history as he became the first player of Indian descent to play in an NBA Summer League game.

Amjyot Singh Gill (born January 2, 1993) is an Indian professional basketball player for Satria Muda BritAma of the Indonesian Basketball League. Standing at 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m), he plays as a power forward and small ball center. Gill was selected 35th overall by Oklahoma City Blue in the 2017 G League draft and made his debut on November 3, 2017 against Austin Spurs. On December 30, 2017 against Austin Spurs again, Gill became the first Indian-born player to record a double-double in GLeague after notching 12 points and 11 rebounds.[2] Later on January 12, 2018 against Santa Cruz Warriors, he set his career high with 26 points along with 7 rebounds which led his team to a victory with a score line of 119–93.[3]
