Plum, 31, the 2022 WNBA MVP and two-time champion, has struggled with injuries this season. She missed games in May with a right ankle injury, and is now dealing with issues to her left leg. She hasn't seen a drop in production, however. Plum scored 43 points in a game vs. the Phoenix Mercury on June 14, winning a tilt with the Mercury's Kahleah Copper, who scored 41. It was the first time opponents have had dueling 40-point games in WNBA history, including the playoffs. Each set career highs for points.
