Regarding the matter that Yosuke Saito (belonging to UTSUNOMIYA BREX.EXE) was temporarily announced as an entry player on the FIBA official website, JBA will pre-register the player for this tournament and prepare for the tournament dispatch as a Japanese national team player. However, the dispatch was canceled because the PCR test conducted before the trip showed that the athlete had a positive reaction for the new coronavirus. Komatsu, who was also pre-registered, was hurriedly convened and the above four players were officially registered for this entry.
