Boston, who was the first overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, has been named to the USA Basketball Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament Team for 2024.
Boston’s selection to the USA team is a testament to her exceptional skills and contributions to the sport. She will be competing alongside some of the biggest names in women’s basketball, including Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, and Sabrina Ionescu.
