Report sheds new light on shot Kelsey Plum took at Caitlin Clark

Kelsey Plum took what seemed to be a friendly swipe at Caitlin Clark following the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday night, but some new context suggests there is no real beef between the two players.

WNBA players sent a message to the league ahead of the All-Star Game by wearing T-shirts that said "Pay Us What You Owe Us" across the front. The current collective bargaining agreement between team owners and the WNBA Players Association is set to expire after the season, and players are seeking an increased revenue share.

Plum, who was part of Team Collier's 151-131 win over Team Clark, was asked about the shirts in her postgame press conference. She said players decided that morning that they were going to make the statement, but she laughed and said "zero members" of Team Clark attended the meeting where the final call was made.

That does not mean Clark and her All-Star teammates were indifferent, as Plum made it seem. On Monday, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported that players had discussed wearing the "Pay Us What You Owe Us" shirts for more than a week leading up to the All-Star Game.

Very few players on team Clark attended the Saturday morning meeting, but Shelburne says they expressed before the game that they were on board.
