Molina is among the 20 participants in the training camp. From the 20, only 12 will be given roster spots.

In February, Molina said it has always been her goal to play in the WNBA, and hopes to be the first Filipina to do so.

"There are not many Filipino women in the WNBA, so this is for the progress of women’s basketball all over the world," Molina said in an Instagram post.
