In a postgame press conference on Sunday, Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve made it clear that she had no interest in discussing the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris. Reeve, who also serves as the head coach of the USA Women's National Team, appeared annoyed when asked about rookie sensation Caitlin Clark's future on the national team.

"Why the hell would I answer a national team question?" Reeve responded, according to ESPN. "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?"

Reeve's dismissive reaction came after Clark, the number one overall pick in this year's WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever, was not included on USA Basketball's 12-woman roster for the Paris Olympics. Some believed that Clark's popularity and revenue potential could have boosted viewership at the Games, while others argued that she may not be ready to play for Team USA.

Jen Rizzotti, the chair of the selection committee, explained at the time that the decision was based on basketball criteria, rather than Clark's fame and attention she would have brought to the Olympics.

Before the Lynx's game against the Fever on Sunday, another reporter asked Reeve about the increased attendance at Target Center with Clark and the Fever in town. Reeve responded with a jokingly dismissive comment, disregarding the support of a "likely" pro-Fever fanbase.

"I don't give two s-ts," Reeve quipped, adding, "[I don't give] not even one s-t," in response to a reporter's remark.

Despite Reeve's indifference, Clark's return to Target Center was a success, as the game drew a sold-out crowd of 18,978. Clark, who previously led the Iowa Hawkeyes to the Big Ten Tournament title, expressed her appreciation for the fans who showed up to support her.

"There were a lot of Fever fans," Clark said. "They were cheering, going crazy. A lot of people that probably supported me when I was here playing with Iowa, but it's a great venue, the Target Center is awesome."

In the game, Clark made her presence known, scoring 10 of her 17 points in the fourth quarter, along with three rebounds and six assists.

Reeve acknowledged Clark's impact on attendance, highlighting that the rookie, along with Angel Reese, another emerging star, has brought significant attention to the WNBA.

"Everybody knows that the reason why our teams around the league are having sell-outs is because Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are coming to town," Reeve stated. "So what the league can do is to be ready to capitalize on the moments. The league has been building for a watershed moment, and we're here, and now you have to take advantage of it."

As the WNBA's popularity continues to grow, this year's All-Star Game format will feature Team WNBA taking on Team USA, consisting of the league's stars competing at the Paris Olympics.

While Reeve may not address questions about the upcoming Olympics, her focus remains on the present WNBA season, as she looks to guide the Lynx to success in Clark's highly anticipated rookie year.
