Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner had a fan interaction regarding the ongoing Caitlin Clark-Team USA discussion. The Indiana Fever rookie was reportedly snubbed from this year’s Olympics roster, as head coach Cheryl Reeve and USA Basketball went with a more experienced roster.
A lot has been said about the alleged decision, with fans showing their discomfort and even criticizing some selections. Amid the ongoing discussions, Brittney Griner chimed in, using one word to shut down all the noise.
Comments from fans flooded ESPN’s post showing the alleged members of the 2024 Team USA. One of them took exception to Clark’s snub. The comment caught the attention of many, including Brittney Griner.
“No Caitlin? Ain’t gotta worry about me watching,” the fan commented.
Caitlin Clark’s name sparks heated debates around WNBA circles. The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft isn’t even actively engaging in these conversations but she remains a hot topic.
The reported 12-player roster is pretty stacked and adding Clark to the equation wouldn’t make a big difference for them in terms of performance. She’s going through her first WNBA season and perhaps not taking part in the Olympics might help her development.
