USA Women's Basketball 2024 Paris Olympics: Full roster, schedule and more

With several high-profile stars such as A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, and Brittney Griner, the USA Women's Basketball team is expected to be heavy favorites for the Olympics. While there have been questions about the team snubbing rookie star Caitlin Clark, the roster boasts some of the biggest stars in the WNBA today.

Griner, for example, is a two-time Olympian, winning gold with Team USA in Tokyo in 2020, and Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

At the same time, the team will have some young firepower in the form of stars such as Kahleah Copper, who will be looking to win her first Olympic gold medal.
