Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark is set to lead Team USA's campaign in the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup, according to WNBA analyst Robin Lundberg. Clark, along with Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers, represents a "new era" of women's basketball in the United States, according to Lundberg. The trio's star power and recent success have generated excitement around Team USA, he said.
Clark's MVP performance at the FIBA World Cup qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico, where she averaged 11.6 points and 6.4 assists, further solidifies her role as the leader for Team USA. Despite missing the tournament due to a back injury, Clark is expected to return and take on the responsibility of leading the team. This change in leadership is seen as a positive development for the sport, with Lundberg expecting a surge in interest as the tournament begins on Friday.
