Los Angeles Sparks' star guard Kelsey Plum will play for Unrivaled Basketball this winter, according to a league announcement on Wednesday. Plum's decision to play comes less than a year after she opted out for Unrivaled's first season, initially deciding not to participate in the women's professional three-on-three league, co-founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart.

Prior to the start of this year's MLB postseason, the Sparks delivered a message to the Dodgers ahead of their Wild-Card Series opener against the Cincinnati Reds.

"Best of luck to our friends at the @Dodgers who begin their postseason run tonight! Let’s run it back!" the Sparks wrote on X.
