USA Basketball’s decision to snub Caitlin Clark’s for this summer’s Olympics is a ‘missed opportunity’, according to the president of the Los Angeles 2028 organizing committee.
Clark has taken the sport to new heights in recent months but the ‘generational talent’ was left off the USA’s 12-woman roster for Paris.
The Fever superstar is reportedly atop the alternates list but her omission sparked fury among fans, including Barstool chief Dave Portnoy who accused selectors of being ‘dumb’, ‘braindead’, and ‘idiotic’.
And now Casey Wasserman has expressed his disappointment about her absence from this summer’s Games.
‘I think it’s a missed opportunity because she’s clearly a generational talent at a time when the world was ready for it,’ Wasserman told USA Today. ‘I just think it would have been an opportunity to elevate the women’s team.’

Wasserman wants Clark to be included for the Games on home soil in 2028, insisting: ‘I certainly hope she’ll be at the 2028 Olympics…. she’s a great star and the future of American basketball is bright.’
