All-around production in win Plum recorded 13 points (3-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and four assists in 18 minutes during Sunday's 85-75 preseason win over Portland.

Impact After pouring in 22 points during the Sparks' first exhibition against Nigeria, Plum took a more balanced approach Sunday and focused on feeding her new frontcourt tandem of Nneka Ogwumike and Dearica Hamby. Plum is entering her second season with the Sparks after posting 19.5 points and 5.7 assists per game in 2025, and she took a below-supermax deal this offseason to give the team financial flexibility to add Ogwumike and Ariel Atkins. With a significantly upgraded roster around her, Plum should remain the offensive engine in clutch situations, though she may not be asked to do as much on a nightly basis.

Pours in 22 points Plum generated 22 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Saturday's 89-63 preseason victory over the Nigerian National Team.

Impact Plum picked up right where she left off after dominant showings in Unrivaled and the FIBA World Cup qualifiers this offseason, leading all scorers while posting a game-high plus-30 point differential. She scored 16 first-half points and hit four threes on the day as the Sparks jumped out to a 12-0 lead and never trailed. Los Angeles revamped its roster around Plum this offseason, bringing back Nneka Ogwumike while adding Ariel Atkins and Erica Wheeler, and the early returns suggest the new pieces will fit well alongside the franchise's leading scorer. Plum should remain an elite fantasy asset in 2026 after setting Sparks single-season records for points, assists, threes and free throws made last year.

Plum will lead a Sparks backcourt that also consists of Rae Burrell, Erica Wheeler and Julie Vanloo.
