Here are the former IU basketball players and other notable school alumni on rosters and coaching staffs as the NBA opens training camps ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Players
The numbers here are on the decline after a decade of mostly subpar play by the Hoosiers.
OG Anunoby and Thomas Bryant are both entering their tenth seasons in the league.
- OG Anunoby – New York Knicks
- Tamar Bates – Utah Jazz
- Thomas Bryant – Cleveland Cavaliers
- Tucker DeVries – Boston Celtics
- Trayce Jackson-Davis – Toronto Raptors
- Kel’el Ware – Milwaukee Bucks
Notes: Eric Gordon is not on a roster after an 18-year NBA career. He has not formally announced his retirement.
Jalen Hood-Schifino did not play in the league in 2025-26, and he’s not currently with a team.
Coaching Staffs
Fun fact: There are two IU alumni head coaches in the league, and neither actually played basketball for the Hoosiers.
Former IU head coach Mike Woodson is back in Sacramento for a second year on that staff.
- Dusty May – Head Coach, Dallas Mavericks (former IU basketball manager)
- Micah Nori – Head Coach, Portland Trailblazers (former IU baseball player)
- Mike Woodson – Assistant, Sacramento Kings
