    Team USA head coach Cheryl Reeve is not budging when it comes to the selection committee's decision to leave Caitlin Clark off the 2024 Olympic roster.

    During her media availability before Saturday night's matchup between the WNBA All-Star Team and Team USA, Reeve was asked if she's second guessing the decision.

    The Team USA skipper gave a blunt response.

    "No," she said, via WNBA insider Chloe Peterson.

    Clark is one of the most exciting young talents in women's basketball, but the Indiana Fever rookie sensation was was left off the stacked Team USA roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    Reeve sparked controversy earlier this year when she said she supported the committee's decision because "I've never been in the trenches with [Clark]."

    Reeve is frequently asked about the decision to leave Clark off the roster. After the Fever's recent win over the Lynx, Reeve fired back at a reporter for inquiring about the choice.

    "Why the hell would I answer a national team question? I'm wearing Lynx. And I'm the head coach of the national team, but I'm not the chair of the committee. Anybody want to venture into anything else?"

    Clark and the 2024 WNBA All-Star Team will be coached by women's basketball legend Cheryl Miller on Saturday night. The WNBA All-Star vs. Team USA matchup will tipoff at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
