What happened: Sonia Citron is a FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup champion after the U.S. won gold in Berlin. She joined the roster late for her senior tournament debut after earlier withdrawals opened spots.

Why it matters: For Citron, the title caps a two-week jump from late roster addition to senior world champion. The result extends the U.S. run at the event and adds another international marker before Citron returns to WNBA play.

What to watch: Watch how quickly Citron transitions back from Berlin into the WNBA regular-season stretch. Her role and workload could matter immediately after the international turnaround.
