A'ja Wilson's friend, Michael McManus, also known as Deloris on his X, formerly Twitter, handle, did not hold back on criticizing LA Sparks guard Kelsey Plum for her showing against the Phoenix Suns.
On Sunday, McManus expressed his thoughts on Plum going 4-19 from the field in Sunday's game.
"Kelsey is learning that being the star of a team as a PG ain't easy. Going 4/18 as the franchise player is nasty business," McManus tweeted.
