The Boomers travel away from home to take on Kazakhstan on February 22 and Iran on February 25.
Creek makes his return to the Boomers side having last played for his country in 2018 before leaving Australia to chase his NBA dream in the United States.
Creek made his NBA debut and was given consecutive 10-day contracts with the Brooklyn Nets earlier in February, but was prematurely released from his second contract. Creek has since returned to the Long Island Nets in the NBA G-League.
NBA players are excused from selection for FIBA games during the NBA season but NBA G-League players can be called up.
The Boomers have already qualified for the World Cup but will be looking to win both games in order to retain top spot in the Asian qualifying sector and give themselves a better seeding for the FIBA World Cup draw next month.
