Edwards Continues Summer International Tour

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina sophomore Joyce Edwards is back on international duty for USA Basketball as part of the six-woman 2025 USA 3×3 Nations League team competing at the 2025 FIBA 3×3 Nations League America Conferences July 21-27 in Punta Arenas, Chile.

This tournament marks Edwards’ third USA Basketball event this summer, including her 3×3 debut at the USA Basketball 3X Nationals in May where she teamed with Tessa Johnson, Chloe Kitts and Maddy McDaniel to reach the semifinals. Earlier this month, Edwards helped the U.S. to gold at the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup in Santiago, Chile. It was her third international gold medal with USA Basketball.

The 2025 FIBA 3×3 Nations League America Conference features six three-game tournaments over seven days. The competition will run in a ‘stops’ format with multiple stops held over the course of the weeklong event. Teams will accumulate points based on their performance in each stop. Team members can substitute as needed for each day’s four-person entry.

The FIBA 3×3 Nations League will be a qualification route to the FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup 2025. Conference winners will qualify for the event, set for Sept. 17-21 in Xiong An, China. China will receive automatic qualification along with the reigning champion USA team. The rest of the teams will come from the winners of each conference and the next teams in the FIBA 3×3 Nations League 2025 final standings.

The 2025 FIBA 3×3 Nations League will stream live on the official FIBA3x3 YouTube channel.
