Kelsey Plum Made Her Opinion of Kate Martin Extremely Clear
On Saturday afternoon, WNBA rookie Kate Martin made her regular-season debut — recording her first on-court minutes as a member of the Las Vegas Aces.
Through 26 minutes, Martin recorded three points, three assists and five rebounds. The No. 18 overall pick also notched a big-time block in the Aces’ 89-82 win over the Los Angeles Sparks.
After the game, WNBA superstar Kelsey Plum was asked to discuss Martin’s impact in this closely-contested win.
“Kate Money Martin…I love that kid!” Plum said.
Martin, a former Iowa star and teammate of Caitlin Clark, impressed through training camp and preseason with the reigning WNBA champs. Her impressive play earned her a final roster spot, and now some meaningful minutes.
Plum lauded Martin earlier this year as well.
“Kate Martin is awesome. Kate Martin picks up things so quickly, she’s an amazing sponge,” Plum said. “I think Becky nicknamed her Kate ‘Money’ Martin. I think that’s gonna stick.
“And when I say ‘money,’ it’s not just about scoring and stuff, she’s just in the right place at the right time. She just makes people better. And that’s what Becky values, that’s what our coaching staff values and that’s why she’s gonna be a great asset to our team.”
The Aces are now 2-0 to start the season.

Caitlin Clark scores 22 points but winless Indiana Fever suffer third straight defeat
Caitlin Clark had the best night of her WNBA career so far.Caitlin Clark had the best individual game of her fledgling WNBA career to date, registering 22 points, six rebounds and eight assists, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Indiana Fever from losing a third straight game.
The Fever lost 91-80 to the New York Liberty on Saturday to begin the season 0-3, though the performance was a marked improvement on the 36-point drubbing suffered against the same opponent two days earlier.
Clark’s 22 points came on an efficient 52.9% shooting, including 4-of-10 from three-point range, but the recent No. 1 draft pick also committed eight turnovers.
“I thought I came out and just played harder [than two nights ago], and I think that’s going to be just my biggest focus going forward,” Clark said, per ESPN. “Just come out and compete and play hard. I thought our whole group did that.
“I’m going to continue to learn from game to game, but I thought tonight was better.”
Conversely, the Liberty has enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season and now boasts the WNBA’s best record at 3-0.
Reigning MVP Breanna Stewart scored a game-high 24 points for last season’s beaten WNBA finalist to go with five rebounds and four steals as the Liberty thrilled a sellout crowd inside Barclays Center.
Next up for the Fever is Monday’s match against the Conneticut Sun – a repeat of the Fever’s season opener – as Clark goes in search of her first WNBA win, while the Liberty will face the Seattle Storm
