That's My Problem": A'ja Wilson Receives Becky Hammon's Backing Amid FIBA Decision Debate

A’ja Wilson is facing fallout after reports said she will not play for Team USA in the FIBA World Cup, with the stated reason being back issues she wants to avoid worsening. Kelsey Plum was also reported to be out before the team traveled to Berlin, due to a leg injury and a ruling out for the rest of the season. Wilson’s absence has raised concerns among fans about Team USA’s strength. At the same time, criticism has grown online, including claims she’s being selfish. Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon publicly backed Wilson, saying she believes the backlash would be different if a man made the same decision.
