Sophie Cunningham Slams Kelsey Plum Over Team Caitlin Clark Comments originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game will be remembered not only for Napheesa Collier’s MVP performance (36 points, a record for an All-Star Game) but also for a bold labor protest and the fallout from a remark by Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum.

In that game, Cunningham was ejected in the final minute after grabbing Sun guard Jacy Sheldon by the head in the paint and flinging her out of bounds. The incident came not long after Sheldon was hit with a flagrant foul for poking Fever star Caitlin Clark in the eye during the third quarter.
