The news about head coach Cheryl Reeve and the basketball selection committee’s decision to leave out Clark was leaked by The Athletic on Saturday.

The decision has led to uproar from WNBA and college basketball fans as Clark also had a record-breaking season with the Iowa Hawkeyes.

The Indiana Fever Clark responded to the rumors and shared that she’s up for the challenge of making the next Team USA group.

“Honestly, no disappointment,” she said on Sunday.

“I think it just gives you something to work for.

“It’s a dream, hopefully one day I can be there.

“I think it’s just a little bit more motivation…You remember that and hopefully when four years comes back around, I can be there.”

Clark shared that she’s “excited” for those who made Team USA and that she’ll be “rooting them on to win gold.”

The 22-year-old also revealed she had already known she wasn’t picked before the news came out.

While studying, Clark became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division 1 basketball and has continued her stellar play in the pros.

She has averaged 16.8 points on 37.3% shooting, along with 6.3 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game in 12 starts.

Last week, Clark put together an impressive performance against the Washington Mystics, making 7-of-13 three-pointers to give the Fever the 85-83 victory.

It’s been reported that Reeve has favored experienced players in her roster selection.

The names of all 12 athletes on the reported Team USA list are A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, Alyssa Thomas, Napheesa Collier, Jewell Loyd, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, Sabrina Ionescu, Chelsea Gray, and Kahleah Copper.
