Taylor Bigby, Mikayla Blakes, Aerial Powers, and Madison Scott are joining the FIBA 3×3 Women's Series roster for the rest of the 2026 season. The four basketball standouts will suit up for USA women's basketball at the team's August 1st Tokyo stop.
They step in after a dominant stretch by the squad's previous starting lineup.
USA Basketball 3×3 Roster Features Veteran Returns and National Team Debuts
Joyce Edwards, MiLaysia Fulwiley, Mikaylah Williams, and Sahara Williams rattled off consecutive titles in Chengdu and Manila. They then gold at June's 2026 FIBA 3×3 World Cup.
Roster turnover is standard on the 3×3 circuit, where the WNBA schedule conflicts and FIBA's ranking point requirements lead to frequent lineup changes.
Still, two of the newcomers already have 3×3 experience with USA Basketball.
Scott competed at three Women's Series events in 2023 and was part of a US team that posted a 15-2 mark at the Nations League Americas Conference. Bigby, for her part, helped the 2025 Nations League squad finish 14-2 and win the Americas Conference crown.
The other two are entering the format for the first time. Powers last wore a USA Basketball jersey during 2022 FIBA World Cup trials, and owns a gold medal from the 2015 World University Games. Blakes comes in fresh off a 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup gold and a 3×3 development camp earlier this year.
More roster additions are expected as the season continues.
