The future is bright, and the future is now for Indiana Fever writes Robin Lundberg, as he believes the current crop of WNBA stars led by Caitlin Clark will bring plenty of success in Team USA's campaign in Berlin for the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup.
With plenty of firepower in coach Kara Lawson's side, many feel that the time has come for the passing of the baton from the likes of Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi a decade ago to Clark and Angel Reese as they lead the charge for Team USA.
In a video posted on X on Sunday, Lindberg shared his thoughts on the "new era" of women's basketball in the country and how it will give more hope for the growth of the sport.
"Anytime you get this changing of the guard, in real time for Team USA, that is reason for increased interest," Lindberg said. "Being representative of this new era, it's nice to see that for Team USA."
He also pointed out that the trio of Clark, Angel Reese, and Paige Bueckers will surely turn a lot of heads once the tournament starts on Friday.

Since Sophie Cunningham made her remarks on transgender athletes in women's sports, she has been asked by reporters to clarify her comments. For one WNBA ***** yst, this is completely unnecessary.
On Wednesday, Robin Lundberg tweeted his support for the Indiana Fever guard by arguing that the media response to her remarks has blown things out of proportion.
"Order of operations: Sophie made comment in article. Sophie asked to clarify when no clarification was needed. Media member hijacked presser based on like 15 people outside. Sophie leaned into it all. Pundits pushed issue endlessly. Sophie trying to tamper it down."
Lundberg's tweet comes on the heels of Cunningham criticizing the media as she spoke to reporters at the Fever's practice session.
"The WNBA media, all we ever do is cover everything except basketball…You can talk about other things. Those are great stories. It shows fans who people are outside the court. I also think we gotta keep the main thing, the main thing."
