SOME All-Star beef is unfolding in the WNBA.
Kelsey Plum of the Los Angeles Sparks and Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever are trading blows on social media.

The drama seemingly stems from a media appearance that Plum did ahead of the WNBA All-Star game.
Before the game, players met to agree on wearing a shirt supporting them in their fight for better wages.
“Pay us what you owe us,” the shirts read.
Many players on Clark’s team weren’t present at that meeting.
However, Clark and all of her All-Star teammates still wore the shirts.
Still, that didn’t stop Plum from calling her out to the medai.
“It was a very powerful moment,” she said.
“As players, we didn’t know that that was going to happen. It was a genuine surprise. The t shirt was determined this morning.
“Not to tattletale, but zero members of Team Clark were very present for that.”
Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty was sat next to Plum in the media availability and instantly showed that she wasn’t thrilled with Plum making the statement.
“That really needed to be mentioned,” she said sarcastically.
Clark didn’t let Plum get the last word in the beef though.
She took to social media to get a slight dig in at Plum in the comments of her All-Star Instagram post.
In one of the pictures, Plum could be seen posing with a Nike logo in the background.
Plum is notably an Under Armor athlete, and Clark made sure to let everyone in Plum’s comments know which brand was superior.
