Although a lot of the buzz regarding the United States women’s basketball team revolved around who didn’t make the cut, the next few weeks will be all about putting together an eighth consecutive gold-medal winning run at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
The roster is familiar with one another from spending time in the Team USA system and the fact that 10 of the dozen members come from three WNBA franchises and are teammates. Only Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier and Seattle’s Jewell Loyd are the sole representatives of their teams.
Team USA fell to Team WNBA in the All-Star Game on Saturday, 117-109, generating concerns over the team’s poor defensive execution. Following an exhibition match against Germany in London on Tuesday, the team begins group play against 2020 Silver medalist Japan on July 29. The U.S. team has been placed in Group C alongside Belgium, Germany and Japan.
