With the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup less than a month away, USA Basketball announced its final roster for the tournament.

While you'll find plenty of familiar faces from the WNBA up and down the roster, some new blood has found its way onto the team as well.

Some of those new names include Paige Bueckers and Aliyah Boston, among others, but the most newsworthy additions come in the form of a pair of bitter rivals forced to put their differences aside to try and lead their country to glory.

Regardless, the additions of both Reese and Clark will make next month's FIBA World Cup must-watch television.

The wording urges a conclusion or action rather than only describing the reported facts. Its weight is reduced because this article is identified as opinion.

Useful context, not penalties

Opinion format 1
Argumentative wording is expected in this format, so narrator-voice and decision-pressure cues receive reduced weight.
Attributed claims 1
Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.

With the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup less than a month away, USA Basketball announced its final roster for the tournament.
Uncertainty qualifiers 1
Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.

A number of high-profile incidents in recent years – including a hard foul from Clark on Reese that led to a face-to-face confrontation in 2025 – could make this an awkward pairing, to say the least.
