Sue Bird, Swin Cash and Diana Taurasi headline the U.S. women's national team that will head to Europe this week for three games against top EuroLeague teams.

The former University of Connecticut teammates will be joined by fellow former Olympians Katie Smith and DeLisha Milton-Jones on the 13-player squad that will begin training and player evaluations for the team that will play in the World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from Sept. 12-23.

I will rely heavily on Katie, Sue, DeLisha, Swin and Diana, all of whom already know the quality of competition that we will face in the World Championships,'' Storm and national team coach Anne Donovan said in a statement. "Their ability to guide and lead our roster will be instrumental in our training for gold.''
