Following Friday and Saturday's 2025 WNBA All-Star events at Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Los Angeles Sparks' star guard Kelsey Plum posted photos on Instagram, captioned "What a weekend" — one of which included posing in front of a Nike-branded backdrop.

Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark, a Nike athlete, responded to the picture. "Thank u for the Nike ad," she commented to Plum, a rival Under Armour athlete.

The interaction between the pair came after Plum called out Team Clark — captained by Clark — for skipping a players meeting on Saturday in which players agreed to wear "Pay Us What You Owe Us" t-shirts during All-Star Game warmups, a representation of ongoing Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) negotiations.

"It was a very powerful moment. As players, we didn't know that that was going to happen. It was a genuine surprise," Plum said. "The t-shirt ... was determined this morning that we had a meeting for.

"Not to tattletale, but zero members of Team Clark were very present for that," she added, laughing. "I'm trying to make the situation lighter ... we wanted to do something that was collective."
