Lisa Leslie on Caitlin Clark’s selection in USA’s Olympic team
WNBA legend Lisa Leslie recently showed her support for Clark by calling for her inclusion in the USA squad for the 2024 Paris Olympics. During a recent interview with Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, Leslie said Clark is one of the best players in the world, and there shouldn’t be any doubts surrounding her potential selection for this year's Olympic team.
Leslie further called the Iowa superstar one of the best players in the world who should be on the 12-woman squad. She said:
"She better be on the Olympic team," Leslie said. "We should not leave the country without her. She's a bona fide baller. There's no doubt she's already one of the best players in the world."
Per The Athletic, Clark was one of 14 players selected for Team USA's training camp scheduled between April 3 and April 5. However, she was unable to participate because Iowa reached the Final Four and advanced to the championship game.
As of now, it is unclear what this means for Caitlin Clark, who is arguably the most popular women's basketball player on the planet.
