More details have surfaced about the Caitlin Clark-Kelsey Plum beef that unexpectedly unfolded during the 2025 WNBA All-Star weekend.
Kelsey Plum was a member of Team Collier, which cruised to a 151-131 victory over Team Clark in the All-Star Game. Caitlin Clark, of course, was sidelined for All-Star weekend because of a nagging groin injury.
Before the game commenced on Saturday, WNBA players wore warmup shirts that read “Pay Us What You Owe Us.” As it turns out, players met on Saturday morning before the game and agreed to show up in warmups with the shirts.
After the All-Star Game, Plum threw shade at Caitlin Clark and her All-Star team, stating, “Not to tattletale, but zero members of Team Clark were very present for that.”
After Plum unnecessarily stirred the pot with Clark, we got some more clarity from ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. In an update, the veteran insider reports that the players agreed to wear the shirts during a breakfast meeting that was attended by “very few” representatives of Clark’s team.
In other words, Caitlin Clark and her WNBA teammates did not purposely decide to skip the meeting, as Plum seemingly tried to indicate. But Shelburne emphasized that Clark’s team knew about the plan ahead of time and fully supported it:
“WNBA players —including Kelsey Plum— had been discussing the “Pay Us What You Owe Us” t-shirts for over a week, according to multiple sources. They settled on the idea at a breakfast Saturday morning that very few players on Team Clark attended because of the early start. But just to make sure, sources said Nneka Ogwumike, Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier went by the Team Clark locker room before the game to make sure others were on board with the idea & plan. They were.”
Clark couldn’t help but poke fun at Plum as well with the following Instagram comment. For those unaware, Plum left Nike in 2022 to sign a deal with Under Armour:

The good news for basketball fans is that they won’t have to wait too much longer for the next showdown between Plum and Clark.
The 23-year-old Clark and the Indiana Fever will travel to the west coast to take on Plum and the Los Angeles Sparks on Aug. 5. That will be the third of four regular-season meetings, with LA taking the first two.
