Two big time losses for Team USA. π₯²β£
β£
Kelsey Plum and A'ja Wilson will no longer compete for Team USA at the upcoming FIBA Women's World Cup due to health reasons. The Washington Mystics Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron have been named to the roster in their place. πβ£

While Wilson hasn't dealt with a significant injury this season, her decision to pass on the World Cup could be related to rest and workload, especially with the WNBA Playoffs coming up. In Plum's instance, a lower leg and calf injury has played a major role in her production this season. πβ£

Per ESPN, Plum will also miss th remainder of the WNBA season. πͺβ£
