Kelsey Plum commented on the WNBA All-Star Game warm-up shirts, saying it was a united front with discussion before the game. She mentioned that members of Team Clark were absent during this discussion, which some interpreted as a criticism of captain Caitlin Clark. Although her intention was to be lighthearted, the comment drew backlash on social media. Plum explained to Sue Bird on a podcast that she was merely joking and aimed to highlight the importance of unity among players.
Plum stated, 'The T-shirt, just [a] united front, was determined this morning... zero members of Team Clark were very present for that.' This comment was interpreted by some as a jab at Clark and her team.
Plum defended her intention, saying, 'I'm trying to make the situation light, OK? But I thought it was just all of us getting on the same page before the game. I thought that was a powerful moment and got the point across.'
