On February 11, news broke that the Indiana Fever will have three people representing their franchise at the FIBA Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament, which begins next month.

These three players are superstar guard Caitlin Clark, star center Aliyah Boston, and Fever head coach Stephanie White, who will serve as an assistant coach under Kara Lawson. All three of these Indiana icons were present at the Team USA training camp in Durham, North Carolina, back in December, which was meant to gauge which players deserve a spot in this qualifying tournament.

This marks a great opportunity for Clark and Boston to compete, especially Clark, since she hasn't played in a meaningful live game since the middle of July, when she suffered a groin injury that cost her the rest of the Fever's 2025 season. Not to mention that, unlike Boston (who is playing in Unrivaled this season), Clark has remained in Indianapolis and isn't seeing consistent live action. So this World Cup exposure will be great for her getting her legs and confidence back under her before the 2026 WNBA season (hopefully) starts in May.

It will be a packed slate of games throughout the week. However, it's important to note that Team USA has already secured its spot in the 2026 FIBA World Cup in Germany (which takes place from September 4 through September 13) because it won the 2025 Women's AmeriCup last year.

Because of this, Team USA isn't going to push any of its players too hard and will likely distribute playing time equally. Clark will still be seeing meaningful action on the court next month, which should have fans feeling excited.
