COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Basketball announced Wednesday the 2026 USA 3×3 Women’s Nations Leagues team is set to compete at the 2026 FIBA 3×3 Nations League Americas Conference from June 27 to July 3 in Ñuñoa, Chile.

Sun Devil Women’s Basketball’s McKinna Brackens highlighted the roster. Brackens is one of six NCAA Division I athletes, including Sunaja ‘Nunu’ Agara, Imari Berry, Dani Carnegie, Katie Fiso, and Tori McKinney.

The Brackens resume
The senior was one of many standout transfers for the Sun Devils in 2025-26 and was named to the All-Big 12 Third Team following her junior campaign.

Brackens started in 33 games, played in 34, and led the team in double-doubles and rebounds per game. She was second in scoring (14.4 ppg), field goal percentage (44.7%), and minutes per game (32:18). 

In the postseason, she scored 16 points to go with six rebounds in the upset of Iowa State in the Big 12 Tournament (Mar. 5) before ending her season with a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds) in ASU’s NCAA Tournament contest against Virginia (Mar. 19).

About the tournament
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 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’s men’s and women’s teams will receive automatic qualification along with the reigning champions (Lithuania men and the 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.

The 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.
