Dallas Wings' star guard Paige Bueckers poured in a career-high 44 points on 81 percent shooting Wednesday night. The stellar performance cemented the reigning No. 1 overall draft pick as the first WNBA player this season to reach the 40-point mark and the most points by a rookie in league history.

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.

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.

Cameron Brink was held scoreless as the Los Angeles Sparks fell 95–86 to the Washington Mystics on the road Sunday, despite a standout performance from Kelsey Plum.

The controversy began after the July 19 All-Star Game in Indianapolis. Players wore “Pay Us What You Owe Us” shirts in a show of unity during collective bargaining talks with the league. During the postgame press conference, Plum joked that “zero members of Team Clark were very present” for the pregame meeting about the shirts.

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."
