In one of the many pictures uploaded by the LA Sparks guard, she posed in front of a Nike logo. Clark, who is signed to Nike, noticed the picture and fired off a playful jab.

“Thank u for the Nike ad,” Clark wrote.

Before signing with Under Armour, valued at $2.84 billion (per Forbes), Kelsey Plum was a Nike athlete. After her contract with Nike expired in 2022, she signed a multiyear endorsement deal with Under Armour, joining notable athletes like Stephen Curry and Joel Embiid.

Plum was Clark’s rival during the All-Star Weekend, suiting up for Team Napheesa Collier. She was key in Team Collier’s win, recording 15 points, five rebounds and three assists on 7-for-14 shooting. She has also been stellar for the Sparks this season, averaging 20.1 points and 5.8 assists.

Clark missed the All-Star Game with a groin injury and could only cheer her team on from the sidelines.

Kelsey Plum had some choice words for Caitlin Clark's team during the All-Star Game as ESPN’s Holly Rowe interviewed Plum during the halftime break.

“I’m just playing hard,” Plum said. “We want to blow them out. We’re a lot better than them. I hate to say it. … So, we’re just having fun with it.”

Plum helped the team to victory as Team Collier dominated Team Clark, winning 151-131. It might’ve been a different game if Satou Sabally and Clark weren’t sidelined with injuries.

The Indiana Fever star and Kelsey Plum will now look to settle things on Aug. 5 when Indiana takes on the LA Sparks for their third game of 2025. The Sparks lead the regular season series 2-0.
