Kelsey Plum Takes Shot at Caitlin Clark's All-Star Team Over 'Pay Us' Shirts
The shirts read "Pay Us What You Owe Us," which is a message to the WNBA as players seek higher wages in the next CBA.
However, the unity dissolved a bit after the game, when Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum said that Team Clark, the All-Star roster chosen by Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, was not involved in the meeting for the T-shirts.
"As players, we didn't know that was going to happen," Plum revealed in a press conference. "So, I think it was kind of a genuine surprise. The T-shirt, just a united front, was determined this morning that we had a meeting for.
"Not to tattletale but zero members of Team Clark were very present for that," Plum added with a laugh.
New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu, who was sitting next to Plum at the press conference, was clearly uncomfortable with Plum's revelation.
"That really needed to be mentioned," Ionescu said sarcastically.
One has to wonder if Plum would have mentioned that if Clark wasn't the captain of the opposing All-Star team. Her comment certainly isn't going to erase the notion that some WNBA players are jealous of the Fever star over her immense popularity.
This isn't the first time Plum has shown what could be perceived as jealousy. Last month, Plum saw a fan wearing a Clark shirt on the sideline during a shootaround before requesting the fan remove it for a Sparks shirt.
"You can't wear that in the gym. What is this?' Plum said to the fan, before telling her that she needs to "do better."
Clark has played a big role in the growing popularity of the sport, and that in and of itself could help players get what they're looking for, or at least something close to it.
Clark did not suit up in the WNBA All-Star Game after suffering another groin injury recently. Team Collier ended up defeating Team Clark, 151-131.Kelsey Plum Takes Shot at Caitlin Clark's All-Star Team Over 'Pay Us' Shirts first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 20, 2025

Treylon Burks being evaluated after injuring shoulder in practice
Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks said recently that he hopes to stay healthy so he can show what he's capable of doing on the field, but that plan has hit a snag. Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters on Saturday that Burks is being evaluated for a shoulder injury. Burks left the team's practice at Nissan Stadium after making a diving catch. Callahan said the team will update the wideout's condition when they have more information. Burks is returning from a torn ACL that limited him to five games last season. The 2022 first-round pick also missed 12 games over his first two NFL seasons, so the team has plenty of experience playing without him over the last three years. UPDATE 2:50 p.m. ET: NFL Media reports Burks fractured his collarbone.

Report: Treylon Burks fractured his collarbone
Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks injured his shoulder during Saturday's practice at Nissan Stadium and the initial report about his condition suggests he's going to miss time with the injury. NFL Media reports that Burks fractured his collarbone while making a catch during the workout. The wideout is still undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury and establish a timeline for recovery, but the report says he is expected to miss the start of the regular season at the very least. It's an unfortunate and familiar predicament for Burks. The 2022 first-round pick missed 12 games over his first two seasons and he missed the final 12 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL. Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown when he has been healthy enough to play. Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, and Tyler Lockett are joined by fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in the Titans' receiving corps. The Burks injury could help undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo's chances of sticking with college teammate Cam Ward through the cut to 53 players.
