Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark said Team WNBA's win over Team USA in the All-Star game on Saturday night was not vindication for her surprise snub from the Paris Olympics squad.
Caitlin Clark is heading into the Olympic break with a clear conscience. The Indiana Fever rookie earned her first All-Star win after Team WNBA beat Team USA on Saturday night in a game that many looked at as an opportunity for Clark to get her revenge following a surprise snub from the U.S. women’s basketball Olympic team.
No, I mean they’re really good,' she said with a grin. 'They have plenty of talent on that team. It was the same four years prior – I’m pretty sure Team WNBA beat Team USA they were perfectly fine in the Olympics.' Team USA did suffer a loss ahead of their gold medal run at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. But this year’s loss followed a media storm that saw WNBA fans – more specifically Caitlin Clark fans – outraged when she was not selected for the Paris squad.
think, if anything, it shows how good this league is. It shows how much talent is in this league and how you have to show up and prepare every single night because there are a lot of players that aren’t even here on All-Star weekend that can be here and be in these moments too.' She continued, 'I think for myself, from my standpoint, this is a great opportunity and will help prepare them for Paris and I’m going to be supporting them and cheering them on.
