COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Dec. 5, 2024) – USA Basketball announced today the teams set to compete at the 2024 FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup Dec. 12-15 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The USA men are two-time gold medal winners (2021, 2022) at the event while the women look to defend their 2023 title (also won gold in 2021).
The men’s team features FIBA 3x3 Men’s World Tour veterans while the women’s team includes four athletes with WNBA experience.

Different than 5-on-5, 3x3 is played on a half-court with a 10-minute game clock and 12-second shot clock. Play is continuous, as teams “clear” the ball behind the 2-point line following a made basket, defensive rebound or steal. The first team to score 21 points via 1-point field goals or 2-pointers behind the arc is victorious; or if time expires then the team leading wins.
