Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum took a playful jab at a WNBA fan who was set to wear a Caitlin Clark shirt while sitting courtside at the Crypto.com Arena before the team’s game against the Chicago Sky.
Plum came over to the fan with a new T-shirt, according to a video posted on social media by The Sporting Tribune. The fan’s friend was already wearing a Cameron Brink shirt.
“You can’t be wearing that in the gym,” Plum said with a sly smile. “… Next time, do better.”
Plum then took a photo with the two fans.
It’s clear that Clark is one of the most popular players, if not the most popular player, in the WNBA, and her fingerprints are all over the increase in viewership in the game.
