CAITLIN CLARKLEFT OFF WOMEN’S OLYMPIC HOOPS TEAM… Head-Scratcher 🤔

Caitlin Clark will not be a part of the Team USA squad that goes for a record 8th-straight gold medal at the Summer Olympics in Paris, and basketball fans are puzzled by the move!

According to multiple reports, 22-year-old Clark, the most famous female hooper in the world, was not named to the 12-player squad … which will represent America in France next month.

An official announcement has not yet been made, but the team is made up of a mix of veterans and first-time Olympians. But, no Clark.

The decision comes amid a wave of controversy surrounding Caitlin’s treatment by other WNBA players.

She’s been beaten up on the court — sometimes outside the scope of the basketball game (see the Chennedy Carter body check from last weekend’s Fever-Sky clash). Supporters have attributed the bad treatment to everything from jealousy to racism.

Others have claimed the WNBA is simply a tougher league … and Clark, who is still averaging nearly 17 points per game (13th in the league), must adjust to the physical play. Basically, nothing to see here.

It seems the decision to keep CC off the Olympic team may have something to do with her popularity, as crazy as that sounds. USA Today spoke with two sources who told the outlet there was concern about how Clark’s millions of fans would react to what would likely be limited playing time for the number one overall pick.

Predictably, many of those millions of fans are upset over the perceived snub … including Dave Portnoy, who called it the “dumbest s***” he’s heard for opting to leave arguably the most popular player alive off of the team.

And, the Barstool founder isn’t alone … it’s left many people scratching their heads, including U.S. soccer legend Alexi Lalas, who also couldn’t understand the decision.

“I don’t know enough about USA women’s Olympic basketball to know if Caitlin Clark’s omission is a snub. I do know that, right now, she would be the only reason I would remotely care about USA women’s Olympic basketball,” Lalas wrote on X.

Clark, who scored 30 points last night in front of a jam-packed crowd that resembled an NBA game, has not yet commented on the Olympic team.

As for who did make the squad … A’Ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Brittney Griner are a few of the stars named to be on the 2024 Women’s Olympic team.

Indiana is 4-10 and Chicago sits at 4-8. The Fever beat the Sky 71-70 on June 1. Chicago’s Chennedy Carter and Indiana’s Caitlin Clark traded pleasantries on a couple of occasions, with Clark saying something toward Carter on one play and Carter hip-checking Clark before an inbound pass a little later.

Final: Indiana Fever pick up fifth win of the season

With 18 seconds left, Caitlin Clark hit back-to-back free throws to give the Fever a seven-point lead. Kelsey Mitchell also hit a free throw for Indiana.

Clark led the Fever with 23 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. Aliyah Boston put up 19 points and 14 rebounds.

Fever 91, Sky 83

Angel Reese commits flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark in Sky vs. Fever rematch

Watch as one of the WNBA’s biggest rivalries continues to burn, as Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is whistled for a flagrant foul after making contact with Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark’s head while contesting a shot.

In the first matchup between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever since Chennedy Carter’s now infamous shove of Caitlin Clark, there was even more drama.

Towards the third quarter of a tightly contested ball game, Sky rookie Angel Reese went up to contest a layup and ended up striking Clark across the head.

Officials immediately reviewed the play and upgraded the fall to a flagrant one on Reese. There was no immediate retaliation or response by either team.

Going back to their first matchup, a game the Fever won 71-70, all anyone could talk about after was Carter’s foul on Clark that many considered a “non-basketball” play.

The discourse that followed for days was whether or not WNBA players were targeting the rookie sensation for the level of attention she has garnered.

And although Carter and others have denied any intent outside of the desire to compete and win, it hasn’t stopped supporters of Clark from seeing things differently.

The latest incident in a well-documented rivalry between Reese and Clark is sure to add more fuel to that fire. We’ll have to wait and see how WNBA fans react this time aroun
