Caitlin Clark on Sunday reiterated her desire to one day play in the Olympics, while Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve -- who also leads the national team -- brushed off a question about Clark and her status on future U.S. squads.
, who recorded her 20th career double-double, both thrived in front of Reeve, who leads an Olympic squad that will head to Paris in pursuit of a gold medal."That's what you dream of as a young kid, getting to represent your country," said Clark, who finished with 17 points and 6 assists in her first WNBA game in Minneapolis.
"Why the hell would I answer a national team question?" said Reeve, whose Lynx are now 2-2 in their last four games without MVP candidate, sidelined by a foot injury since July 4."I'm wearing Lynx. And I'm the head coach of the national team but I'm not the chair of the committee. Anybody want to venture into anything else?"
When the Fever sealed the win late, the building erupted, having made Target Center sound like an opposing arena for the Lynx all afternoon. Clark made some good and bad history in Minneapolis, where she said she has fond memories of taking trips with her dad in elementary school to see the Lynx play.
