Despite overturning an 18-point deficit in the third quarter against the Las Vegas Aces, the Dallas Wings failed to emerge victorious in their latest showdown. The Wings put in a heroic effort, but fell to the Aces, dropping the game 104-91. However, along with the Wings, Aces’ Kelsey Plum also fell. She was tackled into the ground twice, and that too in 2 minutes by a 26 YO WNBA Star.

As the clip of the 26 YO tackling Plum spread, her fans rallied behind the Aces’ standout guard, expressing outrage and claiming that the opposing player’s actions were unnecessarily aggressive, earning the title of being a”dirty player.”

The fourth quarter of the game, however, got a bit heated. With only three minutes left on the clock, the game took a dramatic turn when Teaira McCowan tackled Kelsey Plum with such force that it sent shockwaves throughout the arena. The situation unfolded when Satou Sabally passed the ball to McCowan, setting her close to the basket for a critical shot attempt.

However, Aja Wilson accidentally collided with McCowan as she attempted to block McCowan’s shot. When McCowan collided with Wilson and fell to the ground, Plum who was also trying to put up a defense against McCowan fell to the ground.

And it doesn’t end here.

In less than two minutes, Kelsey Plum, who was still clearly in pain from the earlier incident, was back in play and heading toward the basket. Unfortunately, McCowan tackled Plum once more, causing both players to tumble.
