Kelsey Plum was a member of Team Collier, which cruised to a 151-131 victory over Team Clark in the All-Star Game. Caitlin Clark, of course, was sidelined for All-Star weekend because of a nagging groin injury.

Before the game commenced on Saturday, WNBA players wore warmup shirts that read “Pay Us What You Owe Us.” As it turns out, players met on Saturday morning before the game and agreed to show up in warmups with the shirts.

After the All-Star Game, Plum threw shade at Caitlin Clark and her All-Star team, stating, “Not to tattletale, but zero members of Team Clark were very present for that.”

After Plum unnecessarily stirred the pot with Clark, we got some more clarity from ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. In an update, the veteran insider reports that the players agreed to wear the shirts during a breakfast meeting that was attended by “very few” representatives of Clark’s team.

They were.”

Clark couldn’t help but poke fun at Plum as well with the following Instagram comment. For those unaware, Plum left Nike in 2022 to sign a deal with Under Armour:
