National team career
Abbas competed with the Jordanian team at the FIBA Asia Championship 2007 and FIBA Asia Championship 2009. In 2009, Abbas helped the Jordanian team to a national best third-place finish by averaging 13.8 points and a team-leading 8.8 rebounds per game. The third-place finish meant that Jordan qualified for its first ever FIBA World Championship. There, he averaged 15.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Jordan made its return to the FIBA World Cup in 2019. In 2021, Abbas announced that he would be retiring from the national team. Nearly a year later, coach Wesam Al-Sous convinced him to re-join the team for the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup. At the age of 39, Abbas made the roster for the 2023 FIBA World Cup. He was the second-oldest player to compete in that tournament behind Marcelo Huertas. However, he went back to Jordan during the tournament due to an urgent family health situation. ==References==
