All three already have some experience with USA Basketball under their belts, as Clark and Bueckers won gold with Team USA on the junior level and Reese was a part of the national team at the FIBA Women's AmeriCup.
The senior-level training camp will take place at Duke University from December 12-14 and will be led by current Blue Devils head coach Kara Lawson. WNBA sideline bosses Natalie Nakase of the Golden State Valkyries , Stephanie White of the Indiana Fever , and the Phoenix Mercury 's Nate Tibbets will join Lawson as court coaches.
The training camp is meant to be an opportunity to evaluate players to decide who will end up making the final Team USA roster for the 2026 FIBA World Cup in September of next year. New national team managing director and WNBA legend Sue Bird will have her work cut out for her, as the team will be gunning for its fifth-straight gold medal in the event.
