Lawson sticks with veterans as Clark sits on the bench for USA’s World Cup knockout
Coach Kara Lawson indicated Caitlin Clark will likely remain off the starting five for the World Cup knockout stage, opting to ride the veteran lineup into the quarterfinal against Hungary, while Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers also stay coming off the bench. Clark’s group-play role has been mixed, but USA aims to maintain its unbeaten quarterfinal record by relying on seasoned contributors as the Young Guns continue to come off the bench.
