This former Denver Nuggets guard spoke on Team USA's Caitlin Clark decision
Over the last several days there have been countless discussions about Team USA’s decision to leave Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark off their roster for the upcoming Paris Olympics. The decision has been very controversial, with some believing Team USA made the right call, and others believing it was a terrible choice.
In recent video uploaded to X , former NBA guard Austin Rivers shared a nuanced take that lands somewhere in between where most of the arguments have been on this topic. Acknowledging that Clark being left off the roster is not as big of a deal as some have made it out to be, Rivers disagreed with Team USA’s decision, saying Clark would have made a positive impact on and off the court had she been selected.
I don’t think it’s the end of the world Caitlin Clark isn’t on the USA team…but I do believe it’s a mistake…here’s why business and basketball wise it’s makes sense.
Addressing many of the most popular talking points as it pertains to this situation, Rivers shared his in-depth thoughts on what he says is not the end of the world, but is a missed opportunity by Team USA.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
