Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 pick in April's WNBA draft, said she is excited to root for the U.S. women's basketball team in the upcoming Paris Olympics and wasn't disappointed to not be on the team -- but she did see it as motivation.

USA Basketball hasn't formally released the 12 team members, but it was leaked and confirmed Saturday by ESPN.

"I'm excited for the girls that are on the team," Clark told reporters Sunday. "I know it's the most competitive team in the world and I know it could have gone either way -- me being on the team or me not being on the team.
