All-Star basketball player Kelsey Plum has committed to staying with the Los Angeles Sparks for another season, accepting a contract worth $999,999 according to ESPN’s Sunday report.
The veteran guard chose to take approximately $400,000 less than her maximum eligible salary of $1.4 million, deliberately providing the Sparks with additional roster-building flexibility under the salary cap.
During her debut season in Los Angeles, the 31-year-old Plum posted impressive numbers, scoring an average of 19.5 points while dishing out 5.7 assists per game across 43 contests, starting every single matchup.
Throughout her professional career, Plum has maintained solid production with career averages of 15.1 points and 4.3 assists across 278 games, including 236 as a starter. She entered the league as the first overall selection in the 2017 WNBA Draft when she was picked by what was then the San Antonio Stars franchise, which later became the Las Vegas Aces.
The accomplished guard brings championship experience to Los Angeles, having captured two WNBA titles and earning four All-Star selections during her career that began after her college days at the University of Washington.
