Karim Lopez has officially declared for the 2026 NBA Draft, telling ESPN that he is ready to chase the league he has dreamed about since childhood. “It’s been my dream and my goal my whole life to play in the NBA,” Lopez said as he confirmed his decision.
The Mexican forward spent the past two seasons with the New Zealand Breakers in Australia’s NBL and averaged 11.9 points and 6.1 rebounds this season. ESPN continues to rank him among the most intriguing names in the class and one of the top international prospects available.
Lopez also made clear that his ambition goes beyond himself: “A goal of mine is to hopefully reach young people in Mexico… and show people that it doesn’t matter where you’re from.” His path now moves into the key pre-draft stage.
