Two-time WNBA champion Kelsey Plum is headed to the Los Angeles Sparks in a massive three-team trade that shook hoops fans on Sunday night. Also part of the deal is Jewell Loyd, — who is getting her wish after requesting a trade from the Seattle Storm — as the two-time WNBA champion in her own right is on her way to the Las Vegas Aces.
The trade is a massive one, sending Plum to the Sparks in an effort to revitalize their franchise after a last place, 8-32 season. Loyd now lands with the Aces, with the team looking to bounce back after falling to the New York Liberty in last year’s semifinals. The Storm, in return for Loyd, are picking up the No. 2 overall pick in 2025 and Li Yueru.
ESPN’s Shams Charania broke the news on Sunday.
