Taiwanese basketball players Kao Chin-wei and Lin Hsin-kuan will not participate in the 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifiers due to scheduling conflicts and potential fatigue.

The team's management stated that while the players are committed to future national team duties, the current training camp overlaps significantly with their club's regular season.
