- USA Basketball cited unspecified health problems.
- Wilson is a three-time WNBA champion and four-time WNBA Most Valuable Player.
The United States will enter the upcoming women’s basketball World Championship without one of its biggest stars. A’ja Wilson has been dropped from the roster shortly before the tournament in Berlin.
USA Basketball said Wilson would not play because of health problems, without providing further details. The organization identified her as a three-time WNBA champion and four-time winner of the league’s Most Valuable Player award.
The roster change comes just before the World Championship and forces the American team to adjust its lineup. The Czech headline contrasts Wilson’s removal with the inclusion of another player, using the names “Citron” and “Plum,” but the supplied text does not provide further details about that change.
