When Kelsey Plum hit the floor at Crypto.com Arena this spring for the Los Angeles Sparks, the electricity was immediate. The two-time WNBA champion has lit up the city with explosive drives, pinpoint shooting, and viral stat lines, igniting hope in the team’s future.
Kelsey Plum Redefines WNBA Records as the Fastest Player to Clock 200 Points

Less than two weeks later, the three-time All-Star added another record to her name.
It certainly looks like that the summer blockbuster trade that sent the three-time All-Star from Las Vegas to L.A. has already paid dividends. In late January, the Sparks acquired Plum, as well as a valuable draft pick, in a three-team deal with the Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm. It effectively reshaped the Soarks’ outlook for 2025 and beyond.
Tasked with leading a young roster spearheaded by Cameron Brink, Rickea Jackson, and Dearica Hamby, Plum has wasted no time establishing herself as the team’s primary catalyst.
As of June 10, 2025, according to Polymarket Hoops (@PolymarketHoops), the two-time Olympic gold medalist became the fastest player in WNBA history to clinch 200 points and 50 assists in a single season.
Stats don’t lie, of course. Through her nine contests in a Sparks jersey, Plum has averaged an eye-popping 21.6 points, 5.2 assists, 2.0 steals per game, and 3.0 made 3-pointers per game.
On May 25, in a 91–78 victory over the Chicago Sky, she poured in 28 points on 6-of-10 3-point shooting and added eight assists, dousing the burns of L.A.’s three-game loss in one fell swoop.
Just days later, Plum dished a nine-assist game with only a single turnover in the Sparks’ 93–79 win over the Dallas Wings. The Sparks had lost three games in a row again before winning against a Bueckers-less Dallas on June 7.
Defensively, Plum has been equally disruptive, often turning opponent miscues into lightning-fast transition buckets. Her relentless on-ball pressure against the Golden State Valkyries on June 9 kept the opponent on their toes, despite the Sparks falling 89–81 in overtime.
Plum Among 2025 WNBA Season Elite
No guard since Diana Taurasi has opened a season with such a balanced assault on scoring, playmaking, and defense. While comparisons to Phoenix’s legend are premature, Plum’s stat is already shaping up to be among the most dynamic in league annals.
In a league continuously craving signature stars, Plum’s 2025 start is rewriting the script. She’s not just stacking stats — she’s powering a Sparks resurgence, redefining elite guard play, and adding more reasons why the WNBA deserves the spotlight. If her first nine games are any clue, the record books aren’t safe anytime soon.
