CNN —USA Basketball’s decision to omit Caitlin Clark from the Olympic roster was initially met with some shock.
However, USA Basketball has made a “terrible decision,” according to CNN Sport analyst Christine Brennan, by omitting a phenomenon like Clark from the roster.
Breanna Stewart, a two-time WNBA champion, Brittney Griner, a nine-time All Star and A’ja Wilson, a two-time MVP, have all represented Team USA at an Olympic Games before.
“She’s the biggest thing in sports, not just women’s basketball in the United States,” Brennan said of why Clark should be included.
With or without Clark, Team USA is the overwhelming favorite to win gold in Paris and continue its unbeaten Olympic record stretching back to 1992.
