This is the second time in as many months that Berry has been selected to a USA Basketball 3×3 team. Back in May, she took part in the 3X Showcase in Mesa, Arizona and Pineda was an on-court coach for that event as well. Berry played for Team Tempe and they won their first five games to advance to the championship game but fell to Team Phoenix. Four of the six players on the Nations League Team competed at the 3x Showcase last month.
The 2026 FIBA 3×3 Nations League Americas Conference North will feature six three-game tournaments over seven days. The competition will run in a ‘stops’ format, with multiple stops held over the course of the weeklong event. Teams will accumulate points based on their performance in each stop. Team members can substitute as needed for each day’s four-person entry. The daily competition schedule will be announced at a later date.
The FIBA 3×3 Nations League will be a qualification route to the 2026 FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup. Conference winners will qualify for the event, set for Sept. 15-19 in Wuhan, China. China men and women will receive automatic qualification along with the reigning champions (Lithuania men and Netherlands women). The rest of the teams will come from the winners of each conference and the next teams in the FIBA 3×3 Nations League 2026 final standings.
The 2026 FIBA 3×3 Nations League will stream live on YouTube.com/FIBA3x3.
3×3 is played on a half court with a 10-minute clock and a 12-second shot clock. The first team to 21 points, or the team in the lead at the end of regulation, is the winner.
