WNBA players Stefanie Dolson, Kelsey Plum, Allisha Gray and Katie Lou Samuelson make up the first U.S. Olympic 3×3 basketball team announced Wednesday.
Last month, that quartet earned the U.S. an Olympic spot at a qualifying tournament in Austria. But those four players weren’t assured places on the team. A selection committee ultimately kept the team intact.
As expected, the roster is made up of women from the 29-player national team pool who weren’t named to the 12-woman traditional Olympic basketball team.
Napheesa Collier, an original Olympic 3×3 qualifying team member, was replaced by Samuelson in 3×3 and then named to the traditional Olympic basketball roster.
