USA Basketball is refining its roster, shuffling in injury replacement players as the US women gear up for the 2026 FIBA World Cup qualifiers in Puerto Rico next week.
Indiana Fever center Aliyah Boston and Washington Mystics guard Sonia Citron will miss the trip after picking up recent injuries with their Unrivaled 3x3 teams, as Golden State Valkyries forward Monique Billings and LA Sparks guard Rae Burrell step up to join the squad in their stead.
Team USA will kick off training in Miami this weekend, as young stars like Fever guard Caitlin Clark, Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese, and Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers gear up to make their senior team debuts when the tournament tips off next Wednesday.
Even more, it just became easier for fans to catch those debuts, as TNT Sports announced on Thursday that the network's platforms will live broadcast all of the US's five World Cup qualifying games.
"We're excited to showcase these events across all of TNT Sports networks and platforms, bringing fans closer to the players and stories that define international basketball," said TNT Sports VP of content acquisitions Anthony D'Inverno.
