The decision not to include Caitlin Clark on the Olympic team left plenty of people feeling some kind of way, but three-time Olympic gold medalist Kevin Durant seemed to agree with Team USA\u2019s decision to leave the women\u2019s basketball star at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking to Wall Street Journal\u2019s editor-in-chief Emma Tucker, Durant addressed the decision about Clark while expressly saying she would make future Olympic rosters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI still think there are proper steps you gotta take in our world to be considered an Olympian,\u201d Durant said during the sitdown. \u201cI think she\u2019s gonna definitely be on one of these teams going forward, but right now, there are better candidates out there, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n
The perceived snubbing of Clark from the Olympic roster caused a massive reaction and debate, like anything related to the former Iowa standout since she was drafted first overall in this year\u2019s WNBA draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
USA Basketball went with a heavy veteran roster for the 2024 Summer Olympics that includes Liberty stars Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, along with A\u2019ja Wilson, Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, Alyssa Thomas, Napheesa Collier, Jewell Loyd, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray and Kahleah Copper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clark\u2019s time in the WNBA has been dominated by constant debate and grandstanding over her treatment by her fellow players in the league and whether they\u2019re jealous over the attention she\u2019s been receiving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the court, Clark has undeniably helped raise the profile of the WNBA and has flashed some of her signature skills that made her a must-see player in college.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCaitlin\u2019s just gotta continue showing up every day,\u201d Durant said. \u201cThe WNBA is doing a great job of showcasing her. I\u2019m seeing her games on ESPN every other other day. I\u2019m seeing talks around her, no matter what they\u2019re talking about, there\u2019s a lot of dialogue around the game right now, so that\u2019s good as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think if she continues to keep getting better as a player, her production on the court gets better, then the league will grow. \u2026 There are just so many great players in our league that Caitlin has helped shine that light on them, and that\u2019ll help the league grow over time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Durant is the U.S. men\u2019s Olympic basketball\u2019s all-time leading scorer and will be going to Paris next month to take part in this year\u2019s Games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clark has expressed no ill will or disappointment in not being selected for the Olympic roster and it has been reported that she is one of the top alternates for Team USA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
