With the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup less than a month away, USA Basketball has announced its final roster for the tournament in Germany. The team features a mix of familiar WNBA players and new talents such as Paige Bueckers and Aliyah Boston.

Among the most notable roster inclusions are Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, two rising stars with a well-documented rivalry. Despite several high-profile incidents between them—including a hard foul by Clark on Reese that led to a face-to-face confrontation in 2025—the pair will share the court representing the United States.

Photos from recent WNBA games show the intensity of their competition, including Clark fouling Reese during a game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and Clark driving to the basket against Reese at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on June 20, 2026.

While the history between Clark and Reese could make for an awkward dynamic, their combined talent is expected to be a key factor in the USA team's pursuit of victory at the FIBA Women's World Cup.
