GAME LOG
Napheesa Collier - Powers United States to win Collier tallied 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds and one block in 15 minutes during Thursday's 108-56 FIBA World Cup victory over Hungary.
Impact Collier made an impact early and often in this one, and her team high in scoring helped the United States bring home a comfortable win. She got off to a slow start in the group stage, but she's since responded with back-to-back double-digit scoring performances. Collier will take the court again Saturday against Spain in the semifinals.

Impact Johnson is already headed to his fifth organization since being selected 23rd overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. The 21-year-old has averaged 4.9 points across 77 career appearances and remains a developmental project despite his first-round pedigree. Johnson figures to compete for a depth role in New Orleans and is unlikely to have much fantasy relevance unless injuries open up additional playing time.
