Kelsey Plum’s Behavior Toward Caitlin Clark in Fever-Sparks Game Catches Attention

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark played in five games following her return from a quad injury. However, the All-WNBA point guard was ruled out yet again with a separate groin injury.

On Thursday, the Clark-less Fever hosted Kelsey Plum and the Los Angeles Sparks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This marked the first meeting of the 2025 WNBA season between the two teams.

Clark still made her way to the arena despite her injury, supporting her team from the bench. And she had an interesting exchange with Plum late in the first half.

With 24 seconds left in the second quarter, Clark appeared to be arguing a call from the bench. As Plum was walking back on the court, she began to point and yap at Clark, signaling for the official in the process. Clark eventually shrugged and sat back down.

WNBA fans seemed to find humor in Plum's behavior toward Clark, taking to social media to leave their thoughts.

"kelsey plum telling caitlin that she has to sit her (expletive) down ," one fan said.

"lmaoo was caitlin talking trash to Kelsey Plum?" asked another.

"Was CC talking (expletive) to Plum? lol," added a third.

"I still can't tell if she was joking or not," wrote a fourth.

"CC & PLUM!!!," posted a fifth.

"Kelsey plum and Caitlin arguing," added a sixth with a hilarious GIF.

Plum is in her first year with Los Angeles after spending seven seasons with the Las Vegas Aces (the team was called San Antonio Stars in 2017 before relocating to Las Vegas), winning two WNBA championships. Although the Sparks have fallen to 4-11 through their first 15 games, Plum is still playing at a high level, averaging 20.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.

It is unclear how long Clark will be out with her new groin injury, but her status has become uncertain for Friday night's game against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings.
