FOX Sports broadcaster Tim Brando said Monday he was, like many basketball fans, stunned Caitlin Clark was left off of the Olympic roster for the 2024 Paris Games. Clark didn’t make the cut for the 12-player team poised to bring home another gold medal despite her popularity and how interest in the Indiana Fever rookie has helped elevate WNBA TV ratings to new heights.

He also mentioned Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale, who was also left off the team, as another player who was snubbed. 'But it’s been asked by so many people on social media, Dan Patrick even mentioned it today because he felt like if you’re gonna put Caitlin Clark on who are you going to take off? … is rated like No.
Clark said she will use the snub as 'more motivation' to try to make the team in 2028. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
