Caitlin Clark said she has “no disappointment” regarding the recent news that she’s expected to be left off the Team USA women’s basketball roster for the upcoming Paris Olympics. The Indiana Fever rookie sensation said she was informed of the decision ahead of the news — which has been the source of widespread commentary and debate — becoming public.
“I’m excited for the girls that are on the team,” Clark said Sunday. “I know it’s the most competitive team in the world and I know it could’ve gone either way of me being on the team, me not being on the team.
“I’m excited for them. I’m gonna be rooting them on to win gold. I was a kid that grew up watching the Olympics, so it’ll be fun to watch them.”
When asked if there was any disappointment about the omission, she responded, “Honestly, no disappointment.”
“I think it just gives you something to work for,” she said. “That’s a dream. Hopefully one day I can be there. I think it’s just a little more motivation. You remember that. Hopefully in four years, when four years comes back around, I can be there.”
