[autotag]Mikaylah Williams[/autotag]’ international career with Team USA is set to continue this spring.
Williams was one of 17 players invited to take part in USA Basketball’s 3×3 in Springfield, Massachusetts, from April 17-20, where the team will evaluate players to ultimately help determine the team for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Williams has also competed internationally in 5×5, winning a gold medal at the 2022 FIBA U17 Women’s World Cup.
