The Sparks’ guard ranks 15th in WNBA history in made threes (539) and is currently tied for second in 2025 with 50 made triples. She boasts a career 38.6 percent shooting clip from beyond the arc and is fifth all-time in 3-point percentage (minimum 300 made threes).

The news comes just a week after Plum was named a WNBA All-Star for the fourth time in her career.

Plum was selected as part of the 2025 reserves by the WNBA's head coaches' vote. It came after Plum — slotted sixth by both the fans and media — ranked 16th in the player vote, a surprise to many.

This season marks her fourth consecutive WNBA All-Star Game appearance. Prior to this year, Plum was named an All-Star in each of the past three years — including All-Star MVP honors in 2022 after scoring 30 points on 12-for-18 shooting.

The mid-summer event will be held for the first-ever time at Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse on July 18 and 19th — and was sold out nearly three months prior on April 29, per a league announcement.
