What is encouraged by FIBA regarding players' availability for competitions?

FIBA encourages players to make themselves available for both club and national teams to promote a comprehensive development of talent and ensure that players contribute to the growth of basketball at all levels. This approach allows players to gain experience in different competitive environments, which can enhance their skills and adaptability. By participating in both types of competitions, players can also represent their countries, showcasing the talent within the nation on an international stage while still engaging in club competitions. This dual commitment helps foster a strong basketball culture that benefits not only players but also their clubs and national federations.
