Caitlin Clark won't be headed to the Paris Olympics, a source told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.
Andraya Carter breaks down the U.S. national team roster and offers a take on why Caitlin Clark was left off the list. Clark has international experience with USA Basketball at a younger level, but she wasn't able to make the national training camp in Cleveland after she was invited because she was leading Iowa to the Final Four. Clark finished her career as the NCAA's Division I career scoring leader.
Taurasi will break the record for most Olympics played in the sport of basketball. Five players, including former Taurasi teammate Sue Bird, have competed in five. The U.S. team will get together to train for a few days in Phoenix in July. Then it's off to London for an exhibition game against Germany before heading to France. The Americans will play Japan, Belgium and Germany in pool play at the Olympics.
The U.S. team will be coached by longtime Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve, who has extensive USA Basketball experience. Reeve, like former Olympic coaches, was allowed to give feedback on team makeup but was not part of the group that picked players. That was done by the selection committee chaired by Connecticut Sun team president Rizzotti, a former UConn and WNBA player who also coached for many years.
Joining Rizzotti on the selection committee are South Carolina coach Dawn Staley, a previous U.S. Olympic coach who also played in three Olympics; Dan Padover, the's general manager; Bethany Donaphin, the WNBA's head of league operations; and Seimone Augustus and DeLisha Milton-Jones, retired WNBA champions and Olympic gold medalists who are now college coaches.
