MIES (Switzerland) - Sharpshooter Kyle Guy is set to embark on a new chapter in his basketball journey after being named to Team Phoenix for the FIBA 3x3 World Tour 2026, marking his first foray into the half-court discipline.
USA Basketball confirmed that Guy will be part of the Team Phoenix roster competing on the FIBA 3x3 Pro Circuit 2026, alongside Eric Demers, Eric Dixon, Devin Gilligan and Malik Hluchoweckyj. Four players will suit up per event as the team navigates the demanding tour calendar.
The move signals a significant transition for the 2019 US NCAA champion and former NBA guard, who has built his reputation as an elite perimeter shooter. Known for his clutch performances during his collegiate career, Guy now takes his skill set into 3x3 basketball. He should be a perfect fit, given 3x3 basketball's pace, physicality and emphasis on quick decision-making.
Notably, despite his decorated background, this will be Guy's debut in an official FIBA 3x3 event, making his inclusion in Team Phoenix one of the more intriguing storylines heading into the 2026 Pro Circuit. His adaptation to the unique demands of the discipline will be closely watched.
Team Phoenix is one of USA Basketball’s entries in the FIBA 3x3 Pro Circuit, which serves as the pathway to the prestigious FIBA 3x3 World Tour Final. The tour represents the highest level of professional 3x3 basketball competition.
Guy’s addition also reflects USA Basketball’s continued investment in 3x3 basketball as the discipline continues to surge in global popularity. His prior experience with USA Basketball, including participation in a FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifying setup, helped pave the way for this opportunity on the pro circuit.
Team Phoenix is expected to make its debut early in the season, with the Manila Challenger among its first confirmed stops. The event will provide an immediate test for the squad as they aim to collect ranking points and secure qualification for higher-tier events.
For Guy, the challenge is clear: translate his shooting prowess and basketball IQ into a format where spacing is tighter, possessions are shorter and every decision carries amplified weight. If he succeeds, Team Phoenix could quickly emerge as a contender on the FIBA 3x3 World Tour 2026, and Guy may well become one of the newest names to watch in 3x3 basketball.
