Strange exchange of words between Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Plum after Fever-Aces stuns fans
The Las Vegas Aces defeated the Indiana Fever 88-69 on July 2
The Las Vegas Aces commandingly brushed aside the Indiana Fever on July 2 in a routine 88-69 win for the defending WNBA champions, but an exchange between Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Plum has gone viral online as it appeared the Fever star was going to be bitter about losing…
The 22-year-old shot for 13 points, 11 assists and six rebounds during the loss in another convincing showing in her rookie season as she recorded her fourth double-double of the season whilst Plum produced a magnificent 34 points, six rebounds and five assists to fire her team to the win.
But at the end of the game, when the pair when to shake hands, Clark initially snubbed her by avoiding it before it emerged that she was joking. Laughing it off, they shook hands and spoke to each other but it certainly caught the attention of the internet.
One user posted the video with a very simple caption of, “KELSEY PLUM AND CAITLIN CLARK,” with crying of laughter emojis.
A second added, “Lol this interaction between Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Plum.”
Whilst a third said, “This Kelsey Plum and Caitlin Clark moment at the end of tonight’s game,” with another crying of laughter emoji.
Fever get blown out and you don’t hear a squeak about Caitlin Clark. Where is the criticism for her stinking it up tonight on defense she allowed Plum to score 34 points #INDvsLVA
