Donovan believes Opals good even without Taylor

Donovan did acknowledge that Taylor was a great player.

"Penny is extremely valuable to her team,” Donovan said.

“Our players know that because she was MVP of the World Championship and she also played a big role in Phoenix winning the title last season in the WNBA.

“But we also know that Australia have enough depth and confidence that they can play without their superstars."

Sylvia Fowles, who led the USA with 26 points and 14 rebounds in the win over Korea, wasn’t shy about offering her opinion on Taylor.

"Not to take anything away from Penny, but Australia is a very good team and we will have to keep the same focus regardless of whether she plays or not,” Fowles said.

“It doesn't change anything."
