Why does the WNBA call everything a suspension?

Would certainly be less confusing if they called it the "inactive list" or something similar.

TY for the info. Kind of surprised. Didn't think Stef would be a good fit for 3x3 bb.
Interesting perspective. She is a great passer though and is versatile on offense and is a wide body and very hard to defend one on one. It is somewhat counter-intuitive but it can work and I think will.

During the off season, while some are posting about pasta, uniforms and other trivia, great to have a new basketball thread. Have watched a little 3x3 in the past and it was mainly focused on motion offensive schemes played by athletic, quick, good shooting players. Few will be able to guard Stef under the basket and I can't remember ever seeing a shot blocker in 3x3. Will be interesting to see Stef play.

I believe there is some sort of 3 x 3 league in Europe. I caught this tournament last weekend where Spain played Poland in the final match. Check out #10 on Spain. I would not say she is athletic, but very good on positional play under the basket.
By the way, I do not believe these teams represent their countries in the Olympics.

Well the players in the first You tube video do appear in this practice video for Spain's 3 x 3 Olympic team, so I dont know if they are tryouts or a practice squad.

How about "Olympic Reserve"?

Might not work other years. I agree with @Orangutan - some form of "inactive" (even "inactive reserve" or "reserved inactive") which would give you both props would sound better than "suspended".
