Kelsey Plum‘s move to the Los Angeles Sparks has reshaped the WNBA landscape. But before she officially takes the court with her new squad, the former Las Vegas Aces guard is making noise off it-through a viral workout photo that has fans and players buzzing.
During her offseason, Plum has been running her annual “Dawg” camp with Under Armour, an elite training experience she curates for select college players who embody the same fire and grit she brings to the game.
It was at this event that a now-viral photo of Plum hit social media, showcasing a noticeably bulked-up version of the WNBA standout.
“Posting for community service purposes only,” one X (formerly Twitter) account joked alongside the image. That post quickly took off, and fans wasted no time showing their appreciation for Plum‘s dedication.
One user wrote, “good lordddd,” while another quipped, “She can hit me with that weight plate, I’d thank her.” A third added, “Until the trainers’ table breaks.”
Plum‘s physical transformation mirrors a recent trend in the WNBA-most notably seen with Caitlin Clark, who also drew attention for bulking up ahead of her professional debut.
In Plum‘s case, the added strength seems purposeful as she prepares to lead a much younger Sparks roster featuring talents like Dearica Hamby, Cameron Brink, and Rickea Jackson. Her leadership and new physical edge could set a powerful tone for a franchise looking to rebuild.
While she averaged an impressive 17.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game last season with the Aces, all eyes are now on what she can do in Los Angeles-on and off the court. Fans are eager to see which rising player at her camp she deems worthy of the “Dawg” title, but they’re just as excited to witness the revamped Kelsey Plum as the face of a new era in Sparks basketball.
