Overview
- The 18-player roster blends five Paris Olympians and other veterans — Kahleah Copper, Chelsea Gray, Brittney Griner, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, plus Dearica Hamby, Brionna Jones and Aliyah Boston — with ten first-time invitees including Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, Lauren Betts, Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen, Rickea Jackson, Veronica Burton and JuJu Watkins.
- USC’s JuJu Watkins will attend for integration into the program but will not participate on-court as she continues to recover from her ACL tear.
- Indiana’s Caitlin Clark, who missed the second half of the 2025 WNBA season with a groin injury, was invited, with her on-court participation at the camp still uncertain pending her recovery.
- Kara Lawson will lead the camp with WNBA coaches Natalie Nakase, Stephanie White and Nate Tibbetts serving as court coaches while Sue Bird oversees evaluations for the next World Cup roster.
- USA Basketball faced backlash after Clark was left off a promotional graphic announcing the camp, drawing questions from fans and from columnist Christine Brennan.
