Candice named as alternate on USA team

USA Basketball today announced the members of the FIBA Americas Championship team.

Candice was named as an alternate and will travel to Chile to train with the squad. Her position rests on the shoulder of Seimone Augustus. Seimone injured her left shoulder in yesterday's game against Australia. It popped out, then popped back in. She will have an MRI today to see if she is healthy enough to play in the FIBA tournament. If not, Candice will replace her.

Here is the announcement from USA Basketball and an account of yesterday's second exhibition game against Australia, which the USA won 70-66.
