Did She Insult Caitlin Clark? Kelsey Plum Explains All-Star Game Moment

Kelsey Plum has expressed her thoughts on the recent controversy involving Caitlin Clark. During the All-Star Game, players donned black jerseys emblazoned with the phrase “Pay Us What You Owe Us,” showcasing unity as they took to the court. After the event, Plum, who plays for the Los Angeles Sparks, made comments that many interpreted as a jab at Clark and Team Clark, accusing them of skipping a vital meeting about the shirt initiative. Plum remarked, “It was a very powerful moment. We were caught off guard by the surprise. The shirt was decided earlier that morning. Unfortunately, none from Team Clark were present for it.”In the Bird’s Eye View podcast with Sue Bird, Plum clarified that her comments were merely a “bad joke” and didn’t intend to offend Clark. She acknowledged that in retrospect, she underestimated the significance of the occasion, stating, “I was just more discouraged because I felt like it took away from the moment.”
