The United States women’s national basketball team is expanding its training leading up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and paying a group of star players to participate.

Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi, who have led the United States to gold medals in the last four Olympics, are among eight players who will be paid $2,000 a day at each of five training camps and games leading up to the Olympics, with a chance to earn bonuses.

Sylvia Fowles, Elena Delle Donne, Nneka Ogwumike, A’ja Wilson, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Chelsea Gray are the others.

U.S.A. Basketball announced the expanded training on Saturday before the W.N.B.A. All-Star Game in Las Vegas. In the past, players were given a daily stipend for coming to training camps. The players can earn roughly $100,000 for participating in all the training sessions.
