Both Indiana Fever stars have previously participated in international competition: Clark has won gold medals at various junior competitions. Boston has competed in the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup, and represented the US at a number of junior and senior competitions.
Clark will be making her senior national team camp debut, as are UCLA’s Lauren Betts USC’s JuJu Watkins, and WNBA players Cameron Brink, Veronica Burton, Rickea Jackson and Angel Reese, and rookie All-Stars Paige Bueckers, Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen.
The list of invitees also includes 2016 Indiana Miss Basketball Jackie Young.

Her staff of assistants includes Fever coach Stephanie White, Golden State Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase and Phoenix Mercury coach Nate Tibbetts. White was a court coach at the April 2024 training camp and also played for Team USA at the 1997 Jones Cup and the 1994 and 1995 US Olympic Festivals.
