The Los Angeles Sparks announced on June 24, 2026 that guard Kelsey Plum will miss at least four weeks with a lower left leg injury. Plum, 31, will be reevaluated in four weeks to determine her return. Plum played 36 minutes in the team's most recent game, a 98-97 win over the New York Liberty, and finished with 12 points, seven assists and three rebounds.
Her left leg was wrapped multiple times during that contest. This season Plum is averaging 23.9 points, 6.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game, ranking second in the WNBA in scoring. She missed four games earlier in 2026 with a right ankle injury.
On June 14 Plum scored 43 points against the Phoenix Mercury in a game that also featured 41 points from Kahleah Copper, the first WNBA contest in which both teams had a player reach 40 points. Plum is in her second season with the Sparks. She is a four-time WNBA All-Star, the 2022 league MVP and a two-time champion.
Center Cameron Brink remains sidelined with an ankle sprain. Sparks coach Lynne Roberts said on June 17 that it was a good ankle sprain and she did not anticipate Brink returning soon.
