The Indiana Fever are buzzing with excitement as the WNBA offseason continues! Following a strong season that saw them reach the playoff semifinals, even without significant contributions from key players like Caitlin Clark during the postseason, the team is looking ahead. Coach Stephanie White led a resilient squad in her return to the Fever.
Big news broke on Monday: Aliyah Boston and rising star Caitlin Clark have been selected for the USA Basketball Women's National Team training camp roster! Adding to the excitement, Stephanie White will serve as one of the team's court coaches.
Clark and Boston will join 16 other talented players at the camp, including veterans from the 2024 Paris Olympics gold-medal winning team like Kahleah Copper, Brittney Griner, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young. This blend of experienced players and fresh talent promises an intense and competitive training environment.
But that's not all! Several players are set to make their senior national team debuts, including Lauren Betts, Paige Bueckers, Cameron Brink, and the one and only, Angel Reese! Juju Watkins is also on the list, signalling a potential changing of the guard and a bright future for USA Basketball.
Stephanie White will be assisting head coach Kara Lawson during the training camp, which will be held at Duke University from December 12-14. This camp is a crucial step in preparing for future international competitions and building team chemistry.
What does this mean for the Indiana Fever?
Having two players and a coach involved in the USA Basketball training camp is a huge boost for the Indiana Fever. It provides valuable experience for Clark and Boston, and allows White to further develop her coaching skills at the national level. Fever fans have every reason to be excited about the future!
Keep an eye on Angel Reese
Angel Reese's inclusion in the training camp is particularly noteworthy. She's a dynamic player with a strong presence on the court. Her performance at the camp will be closely watched, and could potentially lead to even greater opportunities in the future.
