Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark has had a successful rookie season in the WNBA, but she was unable to make the final cut on the Team USA women's basketball roster in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The talented guard spoke with the media after Fever practice on Tuesday, and while she mentioned that she's tuned into the men's and women's teams during the tournament, she views Team USA's decision to keep her off the roster as motivation.   However, Clark explained that she believes the WNBA break was beneficial for her mental and physical health.  She's not "bummed" that she didn't make the Olympics roster since she thought it would help push her toward a new dream.
