Three former UConn women’s basketball stars will participate in the 2022 FIBA World Cup in Australia this month: Breanna Stewart (USA), Kia Nurse (Canada) and Gabby Williams (France). It’s a significantly smaller group than the Olympics last summer, when there were nine Huskies in Tokyo.
This will be Stewart’s fifth major tournament with the senior US national team and her third World Cup. She’s earned two Olympic gold medals and two World Cups gold medals while taking home MVP honors at the 2018 World Cup as well. Stef Dolson was the only other former UConn player to make Team USA’s training camp.
