Aces G Kelsey Plum elects to not participate in Unrivaled…

The new 3-on-3 women’s league, which is scheduled to launch on January 17, has suffered a setback as Las Vegas Aces star Kelsey Plum has decided not to play in Unrivaled.

Plum wrote on Instagram on Thursday, “I’ve decided to take some more time for myself this offseason by not participating in the first season of Unrivaled.” “I am grateful for the league’s comprehension and flexibility. I’m thrilled to watch and wish the league and every player the very best.”

One of the six clubs in the league, the Laces, had added Plum to their squad. Alyssa Thomas (Connecticut Sun), Courtney Williams (Minnesota Lynx), Kate Martin (Aces), Stefanie Dolson (Washington Mystics), and Kayla McBride (Minnesota Lynx) are also anticipated to play for coach Andrew Wade’s Laces.

The article claims that Plum’s choice prevents the league from having three players to complete six complete rosters. After receiving a reputed seven-figure wage offer, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark turned down an invitation to take part.
