Photos capture Caitlin Clark playing for Team USA in group-stage matchups against Italy and China at the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Berlin, with the event running September 4–23.
Caitlin Clark came off the bench to post a 14-point, 11-assist double-double as Team USA routed China 94-61 to open the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup, with Paige Bueckers and Rhyne Howard adding 14 points each and a balanced, stingy defense powering the victory.
Caitlin Clark didn’t start Team USA’s FIBA Women’s World Cup opener against China, with Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young in the starting backcourt and Breanna Stewart, Kahleah Copper, and Napheesa Collier as the starting five. Clark checked in midway through the first quarter and finished that frame with a two-point layup, four assists, and a rebound as the U.S. built an early lead. Coach Kara Lawson has praised Clark’s competitiveness and coachability as she eyes a larger role later in the tournament.
