Kelsey Plum recently joined Sparks’ legend and Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie on the latest episode of the “Between the Lines” podcast — and was honest when discussing the Sparks’ early-season struggles. However, Los Angeles’ star guard delivered an expectation and promise in expecting the team to make a run and clinch a 2025 playoff spot.
Plum also shared insights on playing against other rising WNBA stars — one of which being Indiana’s Caitlin Clark. She discussed what it’s like to play against Clark, and added high praise and support for the second-year guard. “She brings the show,” Plum said.
Last month on an episode of Cameron Brink’s podcast,”Straight 2 Cam” with Sydel Curry-Lee, she spoke out against the WNBA’s current roster cap in place. On Brink’s latest podcast episode, the second-year forward was joined by four-time WNBA champion and Hall of Fame guard Sue Bird — further discussing the league-mandated rule with clearly outlined potential positive and negative impacts.
