Clark Comes Off the Bench as USA Opens FIBA World Cup Against China

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.

Clark’s World Cup Role in Spotlight as Team USA Opens Berlin Campaign

Team USA opens the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin on Sept. 4 vs. China, led by Caitlin Clark alongside Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, but will be without A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum. That has sparked a debate over whether Clark should start, as she didn’t in qualifying rounds and is coming off a record-breaking WNBA season (about 22.5 points and 8.4 assists). The decision will test how USA balances its rotation with Clark potentially contributing as a starter or off the bench.

Franklin Names Grunkemeyer Starter, Aims Hokies Beyond Enter Sandman

Virginia Tech coach James Franklin named Penn State transfer Ethan Grunkemeyer the starting quarterback and unveiled the opening five on the offensive line, with plans to rotate six to seven linemen. He also urged fans to arrive early and stay for the full game, saying he wants Hokies football to excite fans beyond Enter Sandman and translate the energy into on-field success.

Lendeborg Eyes Opening Night Start as LeBron Decision Looms

Yaxel Lendeborg impressed in Golden State's summer league, posting a 21-point, 10-rebound, 6-assist double-double and signaling he could be in the rotation as a potential opening-night starter. His path hinges on LeBron James' free-agent decision: if James signs elsewhere, a vacancy at small forward could thrust Lendeborg into a starting role from day one; if James signs with the Warriors, Lendeborg could still develop as a ball-handler/shooter and push for significant minutes while learning from a legend. Either way, the 11th overall pick has Warriors fans' attention for next season.

Broncos Week 1 Starters: Veterans Hold Ground as Rookies Eye Breakthroughs

Broncos Week 1 Starters: Veterans Hold Ground as Rookies Eye Breakthroughs

Denver’s 2026 draft and free-agent haul leave Week 1 projections largely unchanged, with Bo Nix under center and a veteran-heavy offensive line and receiver corps led by Sutton, Waddle, and Franklin (No. 3 WR to be decided in camp). Rookies aren’t expected to start unless injuries strike, though Onyedim could push for time at defensive end and a few defenders could factor in behind Brandon Jones if he isn’t fully healthy. Special teams changes are minimal, aside from a potential long-snapper competition with Luke Basso.
