Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark was left off the U.S. Olympic women’s national basketball team roster on Sunday.
She spoke to reporters at practice and gave her first comment about not being on the 2024 team. She said being left off the roster only gave her more motivation to compete to make the roster in 2028.

“I’m so excited for the girls on the team. I know it’s the most competitive team in the world, and I know it could go either way — me being on the team, me not being on the team,” she said, via The Athletic. “So I’m excited for them. I’ll be rooting for them to win the gold medal. I’m a kid who grew up watching the Olympics. So, yeah, it’ll be fun to watch them.
“There’s no disappointment. I think it just gives you something to work towards. It’s a dream. Hopefully one day I can be there. I think it’s just a little bit more motivation. You keep that in mind. And hopefully in four years, when four years roll around, I can be there.”

Clark said she was looking forward to getting some rest to get ready for the extended stretch of the WNBA season.
Clark was the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft in April after leading Iowa to back-to-back national championship games and setting the all-time college basketball scoring record. She was unable to attend the national training camp in Cleveland after being invited because Iowa reached the Final Four.
Over the past two years, Clark has attracted millions of new fans to the game. The Iowa-South Carolina national championship is the most-watched women’s college basketball game, and her games with the Fever have been among the highest-rated in the WNBA this season, not to mention the fan support she’s received at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis and elsewhere.
