The Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark is not likely to be on Team USA‘s roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Sources confirmed to the Athletic that Clark will not play on the team. Instead, the roster will likely include 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.
Clark was not a part of the final training camp on Apr. 3-5, despite being one of fourteen players invited. At the time, her team, the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes, was competing in the Final Four for the NCAA championship. The team took second in the championship.
Her career has been off to a rocket start, racking up massive viewership and attendance since joining the Indiana Fever. A game she played in between the Fever and the New York Liberty broke records with 1.71 million viewers, as reported by ESPN.
As the No. 1 WNBA draft pick, Clark has kept her classic number 22 jersey while playing for Indiana. During the senior year of her college career, she was named NCAA Player of the Year.

Indiana is currently 3-9, with Clark scoring over 30 points in two of those games. During her debut WNBA game, Clark tied for highest-scorer with Wings’s player and fellow rookie Jaelyn Brown.
Team USA has been undefeated in Olympic women’s basketball since 1996. Should Griner be selected, this will be her fourth time on Team USA. It would also be the first time Griner will travel for the sport after being detained in Russia last year over vapes discovered in her luggage that contained hash oil, a type of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the main active chemical in marijuana.
