Kelsey Plum's MVP Case: Sparks' Star Shines Bright
11 Jun
Summary
- Kelsey Plum leads WNBA in scoring with 25.5 points per game.
- Plum is averaging the most minutes in the league at 34.9.
- Sparks are one game out of playoff contention with a 5-6 record.

Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum is making a strong case for the WNBA MVP award. She currently leads the league in scoring, averaging 25.5 points per game, and is playing the most minutes at 34.9 per game. Despite the Sparks having the league's worst defense, Plum's offensive contributions have positioned Los Angeles (5-6) just one game outside of the playoffs.
The team faces a critical stretch in their schedule. Early wins against the Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury could propel them above .500. However, they will then face tough opponents like the Golden State Valkyries, Minnesota Lynx, and New York Liberty, followed by a key matchup against the Toronto Tempo, a direct competitor for a playoff berth.
