USA Today Corrects False Caitlin Clark Report on Missing WNBA Orange Carpet at 22

Summary
USA Today on Friday corrected a report that said 22-year-old Caitlin Clark skipped the WNBA Orange Carpet to get her hair done in Des Moines.
The outlet said Clark actually missed the event to attend a Caitlin Clark Foundation function, replacing the earlier account with a clarification note.
The inaccurate report had cast Clark's absence in a negative light before the correction, and USA Today had not responded to requests for comment by publication time.
The episode adds to scrutiny of USA Today's recent Caitlin Clark coverage, including criticism of columnist Nancy Armour over remarks about Clark and her fan base.
