American · Poway, California · Born 24 August 1994Record-breaking scorer and WNBA champion whose prolific three-point shooting and winning mentality made her one of the league's all-time greats.
Kelsey Plum was born on 24 August 1994 in Poway, California, and starred at La Jolla Country Day School before playing at the University of Washington, where she became the NCAA's all-time leading scorer in women's basketball, a record that stood for years after her graduation. The San Antonio Stars selected Plum first overall in the 2017 WNBA Draft, and though her early career progressed gradually, she developed into one of the league's most dynamic scoring guards after the franchise relocated to become the Las Vegas Aces, helping the team win back-to-back championships in 2022 and 2023. Plum built an extensive overseas career in Turkey with Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, and has represented the United States internationally, becoming known for her explosive scoring ability and clutch performances in the biggest moments for the Aces. Plum signed with the Los Angeles Sparks in 2025, continuing her career as one of the league's most prolific guards, having also spent time as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Arkansas early in her professional playing career, reflecting a broader interest in the game beyond her own playing days.
