Angel Reese's Interaction With Paige Bueckers in Puerto Rico Catches Attention

Team USA's upcoming FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup qualifiers are nothing more than qualifying games after winning the 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup. This gives Kara Lawson, the team's head coach, the opportunity to experiment with incorporating unproven players into the senior setup before choosing the final roster to send to Berlin in September.

While all eyes are fixed on Caitlin Clark's return to high-level basketball after being sidelined for a long time, people are also fixated on other first-time Team USA players like Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers.

The two young stars are grabbing headlines with their play, so it's natural that people would be paying attention to their first foray into the senior setup. One such interaction of theirs was particularly noteworthy.
