Dearica Hamby, a member of the Los Angeles Sparks, has achieved her goal of making the U.S. 3x3 Olympic team after replacing her injured teammate, Cameron Brink. Brink suffered a torn ACL in her left knee, leading to Hamby being selected to join the squad alongside Hailey Van Lith, Cierra Burdick, and Rhyne Howard for the upcoming Paris Games.
This is not the first time the U.S. team has had to make a replacement, as Katie Lou Samuelson missed the Tokyo Games due to COVID-19 and was replaced by Jackie Young, who helped secure a gold medal for the team.
