Kelsey Plum Responds To Her “Rude” Comments After Beating Fever
In a post-game interview, Kelsey Plum was informed about the social media backlash after her mid-game comment on Clark and Fever. The three-time WNBA All-Star responded, “I mean, I thought we did a great job as a team, but Kelsey Mitchell was cooking. She had a couple on me as well, so I didn’t want to say anything stupid. So I just said come back to me.”
Plum’s teammate Chelsea Gray, who was also at the interview, teased her by saying, “Perfect answer.” The 30-year-old also talked about her “good players” comment, saying, “I don’t even have social media on my phone. No offense but, like, we have good players. I would hope so. Not disrespectful. We have competitors — pick one. That’s what I meant. People these days don’t say the truth.”
In Friday’s win, Aces guard Chelsea Gray registered a game-high 21 points with six assists, followed by Plum’s 18-point game. Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever in scoring with 20 points, while Caitlin Clark finished with 18 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists.
