A'ja Wilson returns to USA Basketball camp in Phoenix during Final Four week
PHOENIX (AP) — Two-time Olympic gold medalist A'ja Wilson will take part in a USA Basketball training camp in Phoenix during the women's Final Four . This is the first time that Wilson will take part in a training camp since helping the U. S.
win the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Games. She'll be joined by Olympic teammate Sabrina Ionescu. There will also be a handful of players who just competed for the U.
S. this month at the FIBA World Cup qualifier in San Juan, Puerto Rico — Monique Billings, Rae Burrell and Paige Bueckers. The U.
S. went undefeated in that tournament and will next compete at the World Cup this September in Berlin. Caitlin Clark, who made her national team debut in that World Cup qualifier event, was not in the camp.
Other WNBA players participating in the camp include Cameron Brink, Veronica Vurton, Stefanie Dolson, Rickea Jackson, Azura Stevens, Brittney Sykes and Kayla Thornton. Dolson won a gold medal in 3-on-3 at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Thornton will be making her USA debut.
