Kelsey Plum’s Ruthless Taunt Toward Angel Reese Is Going Viral During Sparks vs. Sky Game
Angel Reese might be putting up numbers, but that didn’t stop Kelsey Plum from putting her on blast.
During Sunday night’s matchup between the Los Angeles Sparks and Chicago Sky, Plum hit Reese with a savage taunt that’s now going viral across social media. With the Sparks pulling away late in the fourth quarter, cameras caught Plum directing some heated words at Reese after a physical sequence under the basket.
The Sparks were up 84-71 at the time, and while Reese logged a solid double-double, it’s safe to say Plum got the last word.
Stay tuned — this rivalry just got personal.
A prominent WNBA star’s ruthless taunt of Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is going viral on Sunday evening.
The Los Angeles Sparks are hosting the Chicago Sky on Sunday evening. Both the Sparks, 1-3, and the Sky, 0-2, are off to a rough start. Each team entered Sunday night’s game desperate for a win.
But it’s looking like the Sparks are going to emerge with a victory.
Los Angeles is leading Chicago, 84-71, late in the fourth quarter. While Angel Reese is having a decent game – 13 points and 10 rebounds – she was just hit with a ruthless taunt by Sparks star Kelsey Plum.
It hasn’t taken Kelsey Plum long to adjust to her new surroundings following her move to the Los Angeles Sparks.
The former Las Vegas Aces star scored a record 37 points in her debut for her new team, the most ever for a player representing L.A. for the first time. So far this season, she has averaged 26.7 points, 5.7 assists, and 2.7 steals per game.
Plum and the Sparks were leading the Chicago Sky 43-39 at halftime on Sunday. She ended the first half with seven points, two of them resulting from a layup against Angel Reese.
The two-time WNBA champion blew by Reese and attacked the basket, avoiding a block to score off the glass before making the “too small” gesture and running back to defend.

Plum, who was traded from the Las Vegas Aces to the Los Angeles Sparks this offseason, drove past Reese on the perimeter and finished at the rim.
Following the basket, she proceeded to hit Reese with the dreaded “too small” celebration.
The WNBA shared the official video on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday night.
“Plum Dawg starting early!” the WNBA shared.

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.
‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’
Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.
She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best
It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.
Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.
Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.

‘I’m really happy and I think when you’ve had a health thing like that it does just give you this baseline gratitude where you just feel, you know I have talked to Davina a hell of a lot as our operations were within a month of each other which so weird,’ she continued.
‘We’ve had so many brilliant chats about yeah just feeling very grateful for the basics and sort of springing out of bed in the morning ready for life so yeah I’m feeling good I’ve got lots of exciting stuff happening this year so I’m ready for it!’
Reflecting on her health scare, Fearne said she is ‘massively grateful’ because she didn’t think the lump was anything to worry about, before learning it was a tumour.
‘I went for an ultrasound and it ended up being a tumour, which was obviously a big surprise,’ she explained.
‘Now I feel absolutely great I’m really grateful and you know go and get those lumps and bumps checked out if you’ve got them it’s really really important.
‘I really thought this is going to be a non-event and it ended up being you know major surgery, but I’m healthy and feeling great and just massively grateful.’
Fearne had the benign tumour removed just days before her split from her husband Jesse – who she shares her son Rex and daughter Honey with – emerged.
‘It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage,’ the radio host said in an online post at the time, saying their priority would ‘always be’ their children.
Fearne is also stepmother to Jesse’s children Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18, from his first marriage to Tilly Wood.
Jesse, 48, has since moved on his former actress and model, Gemma Gregory, 39, who now works in the wellness business and hosts the Happy Place podcast.
Meanwhile, Fearne is said to have been secretly dating TV director Elliot Hegarty since January.
Their romance emerged when they were seen passionately kissing on a night out in Soho before they walked hand-in-hand while accompanied by friends.
The single mother, 51, was said to be ‘totally shocked and devastated because she only knew that Elliot and Fearne were friends’ and a friend told the Mail: ‘It was an awful way for her to find out and it has been quite ghastly for her.’
Fearne recently spoke about wanting to have a ‘burst of fun’ and ‘go and get p***ed’ following the end of her marriage.

Speaking to Women’s Health UK, Fearne made a swipe at her ex-husband as she told how she has ‘missed out on having fun’.
She shared: ‘I’ve dedicated the past 12 years to being a mum and building Happy Place [the award-winning podcast and wellness festival Fearne launched in 2018] I still want to do all of that, but I’ve been missing out on just having fun.
‘Now I’m in my forties, I want more fun; to see mates, have lunches at my house and cook for everyone, go on little nights out and dinners and not care so much about getting back late.’
The couple had reportedly faced challenges for several years, with Fearne previously admitting that their marriage had been ‘suffering’ as far back as 2019.
Speaking at the time, Fearne said Jesse’s demanding schedule with his band Reef had put a strain on their relationship which left them desperately ‘clinging onto their marriage’ in an unearthed interview.
Fearne and Jesse tied the knot in July 2014 three years after they started dating. They met while partying in Ibiza the year after his split from his first wife Tilly.
