- ^ a b Belgium 75–84 United States
- ^ Russia could not travel to the United States because the U.S. does not consider the country's COVID-19 vaccine to meet its entry requirements. FIBA decided to play the games involving Russia in the Dominican Republic and cancel Russia vs. the United States game. Both teams were awarded one point.[9] However, On 1 March 2022, Russia was expelled from the tournament by FIBA due to its invasion of Ukraine and Puerto Rico was named as their replacement in 18 May 2022.[10][11]
