Clark is a natural fit for the WNBA Three-Point Contest. … right?

But she is not slated to participate in the upcoming event. So the first reaction is, “Hey, why are they being unfair to the Fever rookie?”

Answer? They’re not.

The WNBA has confirmed that Clark was invited to participate but wound up declining the offer. Clark’s reasoning hasn’t been revealed; we’re sure it soon will be.

JULY 18 WATCH OUT IT’S A WATER BOTTLE! Although Caitlin Clark typically plays the reserve role in postgame press conferences, the All-Star rookie showcased her fiery side. On her way to the bench following a committed turnover, Clark couldn’t contain herself, as she chunked a water bottle near a Fever staff member.

Although Clark set a WNBA record with 19 assists, the Fever lost 101-93 to the Dallas Wings.

JULY 17 CAITLIN CLARK ISN’T OLYMPICS MATERIAL? The 2023-24 season is one for the ages, most of which due to Caitlin Clark’s gravitational pull of attention and financial compensation for the WNBA. Moreover, besides the off-court rewards, Clark’s on-court accomplishments must be discussed more.

Thankfully, for fans of all things basketball, Clark doesn’t allow the public much time to forget about her. On Wednesday night, the rookie All-Star broke the WNBA record for assists in a single game, dishing 19 assists in the Indiana Fever’s 101-93 loss to the Dallas Wings.

Before Clark set a WNBA record as a rookie, Courtney Vandersloot achieved the record at 18 assists, ironically against the Fever in 2020.

JULY 17 CAN TYRESE HALIBURTON DO IT? When Grant Hill’s Olympic roster finalized, Tyrese Haliburton’s insertion made sense for a team-first enviornment. The Indiana Pacers All-Star is a modern relic, as he’s one of the NBA’s few pass-first point guards. Draft Kings understands the numbers, and realized Haliburton led the NBA in assists for the 2023-24 season.

According to Draft Kings’ Team USA assists leader odds, LeBron James is at +400 as the favorite and Haliburton +450.
