WNBA analyst doubles down on criticism of Caitlin Clark snub from Olympics roster - "Looks worse by the game"

Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark has continued to impress as of late, with the WNBA star becoming the first rookie in league history to record multiple 20+ point 10+ assist games. Amid an impressive stretch of performances, which saw her become the first rookie to record a triple-double, WNBA analyst Christine Brennan believes her Olympic snub looks "worse by the game."

At the time Team USA announced the women's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, there was quite a bit of talk surrounding their decision to leave Clark off the roster. While the team primarily consisted of veterans, many believed Clark was snubbed for no good reason.

Since then, she has seemingly taken her game to the next level, finding her rhythm while making WNBA history with some remarkable performances. After she and fellow Fever star Aliyah Boston became the first Fever teammates to record 20-point double-doubles in the same game, Brennan weighed in.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Brennan wrote:

"Most interesting and most entertaining story in sports, making the decision to leave Clark off the US Olympic team look worse by the game."

Looking at Caitlin Clark's recent play, and possible reasoning behind Fever star being left off Team USA roster

In addition to Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston becoming the first duo in Indiana Fever history to record 20-point double-doubles, Clark became the first player in WNBA history to record 90 points and 60 assists in a five-game span.

In addition, she also broke four WNBA records last weekend in the Fever's 83-78 win over the New York Liberty. In addition to being the first rookie to record a triple-double, Clark reached 150 career assists faster than any other player since 1998, doing so in just 22 games.

She also tied and then surpassed Sue Bird for the most double-doubles with assists by a rookie.

Last but certainly not least, she also reached 350 points, 100 rebounds and 150 assists faster than any player in WNBA history. Given all of this, many have wondered why Clark was left off the Team USA roster.

While there hasn't been a definitive answer, the likely reason is that she missed the Team USA training camp in April. At the time, of course, she and the Iowa Hawkeyes were competing in the NCAA March Madness tournament.

While attendance at the training camp isn't mandatory to make the team, it could be why the rookie didn't make the Team USA roster.
