The United States women's national basketball team will step onto the court in the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup quarterfinals on Thursday, September 10, after an unbeaten run through Group D.
Having defeated China, Italy and Czechia, the squad entered the knockout round with a perfect 3‑0 record, setting the stage for a high‑stakes showdown.
At the heart of the American effort is Caitlin Clark, whose playmaking has been a revelation; she recorded a tournament‑record 11 assists in the win over China and is currently averaging 8 points, 6.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game.
Veteran forward Breanna Stewart added a strong performance in the group‑stage finale, contributing 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists in the 105‑64 victory against Czechia.

Fans can catch the quarterfinal live on TNT Sports, HBO Max or DAZN, with the broadcast window opening at 11:45 a.m. Eastern Time.
