MiKaylah Williams played an important role in leading Team USA to a 4-0 start in pool play at the 2025 FIBA 3x3 Women’s World Cup. The former Gatorade National Player of the Year displayed excellent offensive versatility and physicality, helping the defending champions reach the quarterfinals.

Williams opened the tournament with a strong performance against Czechia, scoring five points and setting the tone early with an and-one bucket. Against the Netherlands, she drained Team USA’s first 2-pointer of the tournament and contributed crucial plays despite a scoring drought.

Her offensive confidence showed again in the win over Japan, where she added six points and played through a physical, fast-paced matchup. In the final pool play game against Chile, Williams scored six points and helped the U.S. dominate 21-6.

Team USA next faces the winner of China vs. the Pool D runner-up in Saturday’s quarterfinals.
