The USA women’s national basketball team got off to a great start to their 2024 Paris Olympics journey on Monday afternoon with a 102-76 win over Japan. Team USA is now tied with German for first place in Group C with two points apiece.
Despite the dominant win and the star power Team USA has, their game against Japan received, by far, the lowest attendance number. Many believe this wouldn’t happen if Team USA added Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark to the roster.
The total attendance for all six Olympic women’s basketball games is as follows:
Spain vs. China – 27,021
Nigeria vs. Australia – 24,023
Germany vs. Belgium – 20,211
France vs. Canada – 20,211
Serbia vs. Puerto Rico – 15,324
USA vs. Japan – 13,040
USA-Japan’s 13,040 attendance was about 8,000 below the average through the first few days.
With the news, WNBA fans have found another reason to blast Team USA for leaving Clark off the roster and took to social media to leave their thoughts.
Team USA will be back in action on Thursday, August 1, as they take on Belgium at 3:00 p.m. ET.
