With five players injured and unable to take part in the U.S. senior national team training camp, which starts Wednesday at American University in Washington, D.C., and four others not being able to compete because they are involved in the WNBA finals, USA Basketball added former UConn star Renee Montgomery to the roster of players at the training camp.

She becomes the seventh either current or former UConn who has accepted an invitation to the training camp. Injuries will sideline Jayne Appel, Seimone Augustus, Alana Beard, Kara Lawson and Lindsay Whalen. Tamika Catchings and Ebony Hoffman of the Indiana Fever and the Phoenix Mercury duo of Cappie Pondexter and Diana Taurasi will leading their teams into the WNBA finals. Doing the math, six of the 14 players planning to take part in the trials played or play for UConn. Montgomery is joined by Olympic gold medalists Sue Bird and Swin Cash as well as Asjha Jones, Tina Charles and Maya Moore.

With Charles and Moore unable to accompany the U.S. squad when it heads to Russia next month for three exhibition games, it's likely that the other 12 players will represent the U.S. for UConn coach Geno Auriemma's first games as the U.S. head coach.
