Kelsey Plum — Latest news, stats & highlights

Kelsey Plum is one of the WNBA’s most electric scorers, known for quick drives, step-back threes and late-game shots. This tag page brings you up-to-date news, stat lines, injury notes and video highlights so you don’t miss a single moment.

She rose to national fame at the University of Washington, where she finished as the NCAA all-time leading scorer before declaring for the WNBA draft. Plum went No. 1 overall in 2017 and has spent her career creating offense with pace and precision.

Quick career facts

College: University of Washington — all-time scoring leader. Draft: No. 1 overall, 2017 WNBA Draft. Role: scoring guard who can shoot from distance, attack the rim, and handle pressure in crunch time. Strengths include shot creation, free throw shooting and clutch instincts.

If you follow only one stat, watch usage rate alongside points per game. Plum’s scoring often mirrors how many touches she gets early in each quarter. When she gets catch-and-shoot opportunities and quick drives, her efficiency improves. Coaches changing rotations or giving her more playmaking duties will shift those numbers fast.

How to follow her season

For live updates check the WNBA app, team social accounts and official game recaps. We collect postgame quotes, coach comments and highlight clips to give a quick snapshot after each match. Want a deeper look? Track box scores for three-point percentage, assist-to-turnover ratio and free throw attempts — those tell a fuller story than points alone.

Looking for betting or fantasy angles? Target matchups where Plum faces teams weak on perimeter defense or with slow guards. In season-long fantasy, Plum is a strong option when her role is steady. In daily fantasy, she shines as a mid-tier salary pick on higher-usage nights.

Injuries and minutes matter. Short absences by starters can suddenly boost Plum’s usage. Conversely, new signings or lineup tweaks can reduce her scoring chances. We flag every roster change so you can react quickly.

Want highlights fast? We embed short clips of big games, buzzer-beaters and efficient scoring nights so you can judge form without watching full matches.

After each game, check five quick numbers: points, three-point percentage, free throw attempts, assists-to-turnover ratio, and minutes. Points show raw scoring, 3P% shows shooting form, free throw attempts reveal aggression, assists-to-turnover shows playmaking care, minutes show trust from coach. Also glance at plus-minus and lineup pairings — who she plays with affects spacing and open looks.

We also track off-court news: contract talks, community work, interviews and training updates. Those items hint at her focus and availability. If there’s a major roster move or coach change, expect immediate shifts in role and usage. We update this tag after every game and when reliable reports appear.
