Will A'ja Wilson compete in the Olympics?

“Being a good teammate, but also understanding my assignment could change with any game,” Wilson told Forbes when asked what she thought her coach, Dawn Staley would ask of her in Tokyo.

“Understanding I belong there, I am supposed to be there. Doing what I can to help bring a win to my teammates, to the U.S. I think that is what she is going to expect out of me. And, of course, she is going to say a lot about defense.”

The team will still be led by stalwarts Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird, in pursuit of their fifth gold medals.
