Los Angeles Sparks’ Kelsey Plum finally addressed a viral moment featuring Caitlin Clark during the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game. The veteran guarded Clark full-court, raising many eyebrows in the process.
One fan questioned Plum over her infamous moment with the former No. 1 overall pick, but she was upset with the comments.
“Dawg could have been CC, could have been my grandma. coaches made me pick up full court and deny the ball back, I tried 😂 (btw if you watched the Olympics/ world championships, when you play team USA, this is the style) k leave me alone bye 😂”

Several videos from different angles showed Plum’s suffocating defense on Clark, who still made an impact on the game, although she couldn’t score as desired. The Indiana Fever’s guard only scored four points (2-of-9 from the field) but assisted teammates 10 times. As for Plum, she played 13 minutes, scoring nine points, grabbing two rebounds and dishing six assists.
Contrary to its NBA counterpart, the WNBA All-Star Game is a highly competitive matchup. Last year, it served as a preparation game for Team USA (Plum’s team) before they traveled to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
This season, both players will take on different challenges. The Sparks have renewed expectations after landing Plum in a three-team deal with the Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm, while the Fever added several pieces through free agency and trades, including DeWanna Bonner, Sydney Colson and Natasha Howard to have a better chance at dethroning the New York Liberty.
