Why is Caitlin Clark out of the Olympics?
Before the game between the Fever and the Lynx, Minnesota’s coach, Cheryl Reeve, was asked about Caitlin Clark being snubbed from the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Reeve will be in charge of coaching the Women’s Team in France. This was her answer about the future of Caitlin Clark in the national team. “Why would I answer a national team question? I’m wearing Lynx. And I’m the head coach of the national team, but I’m not the chair of the committee. Anybody want to venture into anything else?”
