Breaking News: Kelsey Plum was ruled out for Sky-Aces game After………………..read more.
Kelsey Plum will miss Tuesday’s game between the Chicago Sky and the Las Vegas Aces due to an ankle injury, according to Callie Lawson-Freeman of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Despite Plum’s absence, the Aces, led by A’ja Wilson, remain the favorites against the Sky, especially with Chennedy Carter also sidelined. Las Vegas has enough depth to stay competitive, though Plum’s presence will be sorely missed given her status as one of the top players in the WNBA.
At 30 years old, Plum is averaging 17.6 points per game, shooting 41.1 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from beyond the arc, along with 2.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. This season has been somewhat below her usual performance level.
A three-time All-Star, Plum was named to the All-Star team in 2024, but her play was notably higher in 2022 and 2023. Nevertheless, the Aces recognize her crucial role in their success.
The Aces have not quite met their high expectations in the 2024 season, currently sitting at 20-12, which places them second in the Western Conference. The team is accustomed to being a top contender in the WNBA.
Tuesday’s game against the Sky could be highly competitive, with the absences of key players like Plum and Carter likely affecting the game’s outcome.
The Aces will provide further updates on Kelsey Plum’s injury status as they become available.
