Kelsey Plum Shares Huge Announcement Before Chicago Sky Clash

Kesley Plum is the latest WNBA superstar to sign on for the inaugural season of the Unrivaled Basketball league.

Plum shared the announcement on her social media Monday.

"PLUM DAWG IS UNRIVALED," the league wrote on X.

"Can't wait to get started! Tag who y'all think is getting announced next!" Plum replied.

With this decision, Plum joins Jewell Lloyd, Arike Ogunbowale, Chelsea Gray and co-founders Napheesa Collier/Breanna Stewart as the first six players to be announced.

Plum is one of the league's brightest stars, so it only makes sense that she's one of the first names to be announced for Unrivaled's debut season. The Las Vegas Aces guard currently leads the WNBA in three pointers made with 3.1 per game.

The creation of Unrivaled Basketball was officially announced last July. The six-team, 3v3 league aims to give players an opportunity to play and make money in the United States during the WNBA offseason — instead of going overseas.

The league will give players the highest average salary of any women's sports league ever, and all 30 players will receive equity in the league. The reported minimum salary will be more than $100,000.

Unrivaled Basketball will launch January 2025 in Miami.

Plum and the Aces will face off against the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night, marking their final contest before the WNBA All-Star game and 2024 Paris Olympics.
