Kelsey Plum has been ruled out of the LA Sparks’ upcoming game against the Seattle Storm, marking her first absence of the season. The star point guard will sit out Tuesday’s contest due to a lower left leg injury. Plum is the latest addition to the Sparks' growing injury report as the team has struggled with player absences since the season began.
Cameron Brink has yet to make her season debut and remains sidelined with a left knee injury. Rae Burrell also suffered a significant setback earlier in the season with a right knee injury. Additionally, Odyssey Sims will miss her second consecutive game due to personal reasons, while Julie Allemand will be unavailable because of overseas commitments.
Kelsey Plum has been in sensational form since joining the LA Sparks in a blockbuster offseason trade. The three-time All-Star and two-time WNBA champion has made an immediate impact, becoming the only guard to rank in the top 10 in points, assists and steals through the first month of the 2025 WNBA season.
Plum has also formed one of the league’s most dynamic duos with Dearica Hamby as the pair currently lead the WNBA as the highest-scoring teammate tandem this season. Additionally, Plum and Azura Stevens rank fifth in the same category. In terms of playmaking, Plum and Hamby rank fourth among all teammate duos in assists per game.
Individually, Plum is averaging 20.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game. She is shooting 38.4% from the field, including 37.4% from 3-point range, solidifying her role as one of the most well-rounded guards in the league.
