Plum played 35 minutes in the win over the Liberty, scoring 12 points with 7 assists in a snother strong outing.
However, she is now out for at least a month, and it could be longer depending on how the recovery process goes.
The Las Vegas Aces traded Plum to the Sparks in January 2025 as part of a three-team deal with the Seattle Storm.
Since then, Plum has been a massive part of LA’s success. In her first season with the Sparks, Plum played and started in 43 regular-season games, averaging 19.5 points with 5.7 assists per game.
This season, Plum was averaging 23.9 points per game, which is on pace for a career-high, with 6.4 assists before suffering the injury.
LA is now 8-8 on the season, and they will try and survive without Plum for the foreseeable future, beginning on Thursday on the road against the Toronto Tempo.
