WNBA fans were left stunned after Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were both left off the latest Team USA training camp roster.
The April 1 to 3, 2026 camp list sparked immediate discussion, especially given both players were previously included in Team USA setups for FIBA World Cup qualifiers.
The omission raised questions about selection priorities. It also quickly became a talking point across social media.
The latest update shared online confirmed that neither Caitlin Clark nor Angel Reese were included in the April training camp group.
Both players had previously been part of Team USA plans, which made their absence stand out even more.
However, this specific camp is a short-term evaluation window, and roster decisions do not necessarily reflect long-term selection plans.
Even so, the decision was enough to spark widespread discussion.
Fans had mixed reactions to the news, with some urging calm while others questioned the decision.
One fan wrote, “It’s just training camp. Relax.” while another added, “That’s because Reese didn’t make the cut so they can’t have Clark lol.”
Others pointed to possible availability issues, saying, “Caitlin’s likely busy as a few others are not there either, but Angel I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she was cut.”
There were also concerns about interest levels, with one comment stating, “I’m sure the ratings will not be as high.”
Another fan pushed back on linking the two players, writing, “Angel has nothing to do with Caitlin.”
The range of reactions highlights how closely both players are followed and how their involvement continues to drive conversation around the sport.
