"Angel is just the Draymond of the WNBA," one fan commented.

Fans continued to react in the moment as they acknowledged how Kelsey Plum seemed to be enjoying her expanded role with the Sparks.

"KP you didn't have to use her move on her like that lmaooo," one fan commented on the WNBA's Instagram post.

The Sparks wound up beating the Sky 91-78. Kelsey Plum led the way with a game-high 28 points along with eight assists.

The Sparks are 2-3. Plum is averaging 24.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.4 steals, a marked increase from the 17.8 points she averaged last season with the Aces.

Kelsey Plum sparks new chapter in Los Angeles as organization rebuilds

The arrival of three-time WNBA All-Star Kelsey Plum in Los Angeles sparked a change in the organization after a tough 2024 campaign. Los Angeles finished last season 8-32 and was ranked as one of the worst teams of the year.

Plum told reporters at the start of the season that Los Angeles became her designated choice to continue her career because of her expanded role in rebuilding the organization into a contender.

“It’s the turn of a new leaf in a lot of different ways, in leadership and investment in the franchise,” Plum said. “That’s why I decided to come here.”

“Changing the culture, that’s a day-to-day process,” Plum added. “That’s not something that you can rush. There’s a lot of young talent…I’m excited about the opportunity, and I’m excited about the potential this team has.”

Los Angeles will have a long route to changing the franchise into a winning organization, but one thing for sure is that Plum will be vital to that change this season and going forward.
