For women’s teams, the other two team members must have a minimum of 3,600 points or be ranked in the top 50 of their national individual ranking, according to the FIBA player rankings as of June 21, 2021. I dont know if the above qualification swill allow for any alternates on the USA roster. I dont see any conditions or qualifications for the 5 x 5 teams. Since the 3 x 3 Olympic event is the first week of the Olympics and the 5 x 5 is the 2nd week of the Olympics I believe the 3 x 3 players can be alternates, if needed. I dont think you can phone a player in the USA that we need you, get over here. [/QUOTE]
