Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum is having an interesting week, missing a game with injury and going viral for her interaction with a fan.

In Thursday's video, which has accumulated millions of views, a fan was recording Plum and other Sparks players walking on the sidewalk, asking them for their autographs.

"Don't y'all find that kind of weird?" Plum asked.

Just two days earlier, Plum missed Tuesday’s home game against the Seattle Storm, a 98-67 blowout loss, due to a lower left leg injury.

The former Washington Huskies guard had been listed as questionable heading into Saturday’s matchup against the Minnesota Lynx as well.

However, Plum was left off of Friday's injury report, meaning she will be available to play against the Lynx.

Even with their star point guard, the Sparks will still be without four players. Guards Odyssey Sims (personal reasons), Rae Burrell (right knee) and Julie Allemand are not with the team.

Cameron Brink is also set to miss her 14th game of 2025, still recovering from a torn ACL she suffered during her rookie season.

Plum spent seven years (2018-2024) with the Las Vegas Aces, winning two WNBA championships and making three All-Star teams. However, over the offseason, Plum was part of a multi-team trade that sent her to LA and former Seattle Storm star Jewell Loyd to Las Vegas.

But Plum has continued to find success with the Sparks, despite the team's 4-9 record through 13 games. She is averaging a career-high 20.9 points on 38.4% shooting, while adding 2.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, also career-highs.

Plum and the Sparks will take on Napheesa Collier and the Lynx on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. ET at Target Center.
