Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum commented on the team Katelyn Clark during the All-Star Game, which will take place on July 19 in Indianapolis. Plum stated that her comment about the absence of players from Clark's team on the ranking board was unfortunate. She noted that she wanted to bring light to the serious situation related to negotiations for a collective agreement.

At the press conference after the game, where Clark's team lost with a score of 151-131, Plum pointed out that "none of the members of Clark's team were present" on the board, eliciting a notable reaction on social media.

In the podcast "Bird's Eye View" with Sue Bird, Plum clarified that her comments were a remark that was not meant to be taken literally. She explained that at that moment all players were wearing shirts with the slogan "Pay us what we're worth," which highlighted the solidarity of players on an important issue.

Plum expressed regret that her comment detracted from the important message about unity during negotiations regarding working conditions. She emphasized that it was not intended to portray Clark or her team negatively.
