Kelsey Plum felt compelled to make a subtle comment about the viral WNBA All-Star Game t-shirts directed toward Team Caitlin Clark.

WNBA stars delivered a message with their warmup T-shirts Saturday night ahead of the All-Star Game about contentious contract negotiations.

The league sits at the precipice of a pivotal financial fork in the road in the form of negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement. The WNBA and its players boast enviable momentum and a great product. They can’t afford to squander those favorable conditions with squabbling and a work stoppage in 2026.

This is exactly what Engelbert seemed to do with Minnesota Lynx players Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman (who are setting the women's basketball world ablaze with their "Studbudz" live stream on Twitch) on Friday night, as was seen dancing with these two players at a bar in downtown Indianapolis.
