Kelsey Plum’s NSFW mic drop

Paige Bueckers cemented herself as the 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year on Wednesday night with a historic 44-point performance, but her Dallas Wings were stunned at the buzzer by Kelsey Plum, who lifted the Los Angeles Sparks to an 81-80 victory that kept their playoff hopes alive.
Plum took matters into her own hands and attacked the basket without fear, delivering a floater to win the game 81-80 as time expired. The WNBA shared a slow-motion video of the play in an alternate angle, further highlighting how clutch the shot was.
Plum is on pace to match Taurasi with two such seasons and turns 31 later in August (Taurasi turned 31 in June of the season she FIRST notched 20-plus and five-plus feat). So since we know her averages, it’s no surprise that Plum tied the WNBA record for most 20 and five games in a single season with her 18th of 2025 on Sunday.
Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum made waves after last month's WNBA All-Star Game when she fired a jab at Team Clark amid the league's collective bargaining negotiations. With those comments and the widespread reaction in the rearview, Plum clarified what she said was a "bad joke."
The Sparks play the Dallas Wings next at Crypto.com Arena to start a four-game home stretch; it's unlikely fans will see a mistake in announcing Plum's height. L.A. is set to return to the road on September 1 against the Seattle Storm.
