The 2024 Olympics are set to begin in just under two months in Paris. The women’s basketball tournament is sure to have plenty of attention on it when the teams arrive in Europe. Team USA is once again the favorite, and the Americans will be looking for an eighth consecutive gold medal.
Considering the depth of talent and the limited spots, Team USA’s Olympic squad is arguably the hardest basketball team to make in the world. Heading into the summer, one of the biggest questions was whether Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, would make the cut.
The answer is no. Shortly after midnight on Saturday, Christine Brennan of USA Today reported that Clark would not make the trip to Paris, and David Eickholt of 247Sports confirmed the news a short while later. On Saturday morning, The Athletic reported the full roster.
