Los Angeles Sparks' star guard Kelsey Plum is currently averaging 19.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.3 steals per contest this season — an essential piece to the purple and gold's backcourt. Now, according to ESPN, Plum joins Las Vegas Aces' star forward A'ja Wilson to headline a new WNBA game mode in this year's NBA 2K26 video game.

The Indiana Fever signed former Los Angeles Sparks' guard Shey Peddy to a third seven-day day hardship contract on Tuesday, per Scott Agness. Prior to her time in Indiana, the Sparks announced the signing of Peddy, a veteran guard, in mid-June to a hardship contract.
