According to Callie Lawson-Freeman of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Kelsey Plum’s ankle injury prevented her from playing in Tuesday’s Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces game. A’ja Wilson leads the Aces, who will remain the favorites against the Sky despite the absence of Chennedy Carter. Additionally, Las Vegas has enough depth to be competitive. Even still, Plum will be missed because she is among the WNBA’s greatest players.
Plum, 30, shoots 34.9 percent from three-point range and 41.1 percent from the field to average 17.6 points a game. In addition, she averages 4.4 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game. Without a doubt, by her standards, this has been a disappointing season.
Plum is an All-Star three times. Plum played at a far better level overall in 2022 and 2023, although she was still selected to the All-Star team in 2024. Having said that, the Aces are aware of her significance to their success.
In all actuality, the 2024 campaign has seen the Aces fall short of their ambitions. Although their record of 20-12 puts them in second place in the Western Conference, Las Vegas hopes to consistently be at or close to the top of the WNBA.
Tuesday’s game between Sky and Aces
The matchup with the Sky on Tuesday might be fierce. The absence of players like Plum and Carter will undoubtedly affect how the game turns out.
