The time is now for Paige Bueckers, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese with U.S. women at the World Cup

Paige Bueckers, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are set to make their mark on the U.S. women's national basketball team at the upcoming FIBA World Cup. This marks a new generation taking the reins, replacing the likes of Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi, who collectively won five Olympic gold medals. Both Bueckers, Clark and Reese, along with teammates Aliyah Boston, A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum, are making their World Cup debuts, while others like Sabrina Ionescu are left off the roster.

Team USA will face China in their opening match before playing the remaining games in group play. The team is confident that the youthful energy will carry the torch forward, ensuring the sport's future is in capable hands.
