Clark faces United States Olympic team snub

LOS ANGELES — Women’s basketball phenomenon Caitlin Clark will not be selected for the United States Paris Olympics team, multiple US media reports said Saturday.

USA Today cited three sources with knowledge of the situation as saying that the 22-year-old Indiana Fever rookie had been left off the roster.

The Athletic also reported that Clark was expected to be snubbed for an Olympic ticket.

Clark entered the WNBA this season after a record-shattering college career that has sent interest in women’s basketball skyrocketing.

News of Clark’s Olympic omission comes after she shot a record-tying seven three-pointers in a 30-point haul for Indiana in a victory over the Washington Mystics on Friday night.

The game in the US capital was watched by a packed crowd of 20,333 -- the largest crowd for a WNBA game in 17 years.

Clark shot to prominence during her college career, which saw her eclipse Pete Maravich’s 54-year-old all-time college basketball scoring record, largely due to her long-range shooting prowess.

She averaged 31.6 points per game in her final season in college basketball, where she led Iowa to the championship game for a second straight season.
