What happened: FIBA's Women's World Cup account posted a feature highlighting center Han Xu and what it called "the art of the mid-range," showcasing her shooting touch. The post is part of the account's promotional run-up to the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup rather than game news.

Why it matters: Han Xu's perimeter-stretching skill set is a focal point as national-team programs build toward the 2026 tournament, where her ability to score from the elbows gives China a distinctive frontcourt weapon. This is the same Han Xu whose passing and shooting have featured in recent WNBA action.

What to watch: Watch for FIBA's continued pre-tournament features and roster news as the 2026 Women's World Cup approaches.
