The United States named a roster mixing established stars and first-time entrants for next month’s Fiba women’s World Cup in Germany.
Caitlin Clark, A’ja Wilson and several other top American players were named to the United States women’s roster for next month’s Fiba World Cup in Germany, where the team will try to extend its title run. The tournament is scheduled for Berlin from Sept. 4 to 13.
Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, Aliyah Boston, Rhyne Howard and others will be making their World Cup debuts, according to USA Basketball. They join a group that also includes Olympic medalists Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, Kahleah Copper and Kelsey Plum.
The roster reflects a younger look for the Americans after years of relying on a more established core. ESPN said the selection brings Clark, Bueckers, Reese and Boston into their first major international competition for the national team.
The United States is seeking a fifth straight women’s World Cup championship at the event in Berlin.
