FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup: Team USA Roster Overview
Team USA enters as the -500 favorite, according to BetMGM, after adding Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen to replace injured A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum.
- On Tuesday, USA Basketball finalized the Team USA roster for the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Berlin, featuring WNBA stars Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, and Angel Reese.
- Four-Time MVP A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum withdrew Monday due to health issues, prompting USA Basketball to add Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen as injury replacements in a changing of the guard.
- The United States holds-500 odds to win, according to BetMGM, competing in Group D alongside China, Italy, and Czechia when the tournament begins Friday.
- "I just remember USA would always win and they would win by a pretty large margin and gradually as the years went on, the margin of victory closed," Bueckers said.
- Success in Berlin would tie Team USA with the former Soviet Union's record of five consecutive first-place finishes in 1959, 1964, 1967, 1971 and 1975, as Germany hosts a 16-team field.
