The soon to tip-off basketball event at the 2024 Paris Olympics is set to see a range of the world’s top players fight it out for a podium finish for their nation.

Both the men’s and the women’s event will have Team USA as the favorites, with both the rosters including some of the top talent from the NBA and the WNBA.

The event is also significant because it features a total of 139 players from current and former NBA and WNBA rosters who will be seen representing their national teams. The women’s event will be divided into two competitions, one featuring 5-on-5 teams and the other featuring 3-on-3 games.

Here, we look at the comprehensive list of WNBA players who will be part of the Paris Olympics.
