Caitlin Clark, of course, wasn’t one of them after the was left off the Team USA roster, with USWBNT coach Cheryl Reeve going for experience over youth.

As a result, we haven’t see the 22-year-old in action since July 18, when her Indiana Fever lost 101-93 to the Dallas Wings. But Clark and the Fever are now gearing up for their returns to action, namely a home game against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday, August 16 (tip-off at 7:30 p.m. ET).
After an incredibly slow start to the season, Indiana were trending in the right direction in the run-up to the Olympic break. And one man has more reason than most to hope
Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports and well-known pizza reviewer, has placed a $100,000 bet on Clark and the Fever to win the WNBA Finals at the end of the season at odds of 100/1 (+10000). If it happens, Portnoy stands to make $10.1 million.
