Kelsey Plum, Sabrina Ionescu, and Caitlin Clark were involved in a light-hearted exchange recently. Caitlin Clark playfully teased Kelsey Plum on Instagram after Plum posted a glamorous photo of herself posing in front of a Nike swoosh, thanking her for the “Nike ad.” Plum, who is sponsored by Under Armour, was dressed stylishly in a leather-like top and green wide-legged pants. Meanwhile, Clark, endorsed by Nike, found humor in the situation.
The banter between the WNBA stars occurred following an incident where Plum called out Team Clark members for missing a WNBA All-Star meeting. Plum acknowledged the powerful statement made by players wearing “Pay Us What You Owe Us” shirts during a game, emphasizing that it was a spontaneous decision made that morning. Plum humorously noted that none of the Team Clark members were present for the planning of this united front.
Although Clark couldn’t play in this year’s game due to a groin injury, the playful dynamic between her and Plum was evident. Their interaction wasn’t new, as footage from the previous year’s All-Star Game showcased Plum aggressively defending Clark, showcasing her competitive spirit even in an exhibition setting.
