Breaking news: Caitlin Clark has been suspended by the head coach in the WNBA All-Star Game due to……
This WNBA season, one of the most contentious topics has been Team USA’s decision to exclude Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever from their Olympic roster.
Clark made Team USA’s head coach, Cheryl Reeve, second-guess that decision during the regular season by leading her team to a victory over Reeve’s Minnesota Lynx, although Reeve still stands by her choice.
With the Paris Olympics set to begin in less than a week after the team’s early announcement this year, the controversy over Clark’s omission has intensified. Clark has delivered outstanding performances in the WNBA, making her a strong contender for the Rookie of the Year award, though she faces competition from Angel Reese.
Clark had another opportunity to demonstrate her value in the WNBA All-Star Game, and she did so spectacularly, delivering a performance that has become typical for her in the WNBA regular season.
She set the rookie record for most assists in a WNBA All-Star Game and made a statement with a remarkable pass to Aliyah Boston while Reeve was being interviewed as part of the event’s live broadcast.
