The broadcast team will also include play-by-play announcers Mark Followill and Gus Johnson, analyst Donny Marshall, and reporter Noah Eagle.

The 41-year-old Carter has been in the booth before, serving as a guest analyst for NBA TV during its broadcast of the summer league.

"The Jr. NBA World Championship will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the more than 300 boys and girls from 35 countries that will compete on a world stage," Carter said in a statement. "This is an incredible opportunity and I can't wait to start working with everyone at FOX."
