6 Days Ahead of Playoffs, Kelsey Plum Backs 2x WNBA Champion Teammate’s Damian Lillard Collaboration

Kelsey Plum is having an incredible season so far. With only six days left and 2 games to be played, the Las Vegas Aces are set to close the season as the 1st seed. For Plum individually, she scored a career-high 40 points on 14/18 shooting in a 113-89 thrashing over the Minnesota Lynx on July 10 this year.

Fast forward 2 months, Kelsey is endorsing her 2x WNBA champion teammate for a collaboration with NBA star Damian Lillard and a popular ‘three-striped’ sports brand.

Kelsey Plum backs her 2x WNBA champion teammate

The Las Vegas Aces’ 30-year-old point guard Chelsea Gray is one of the greatest PGs in the WNBA. Drafted 11th overall in 2014, now, 2 WNBA championships and 5 All-Star selections later, her resume speaks volumes. Besides her on-court skills, her recent collaboration with the iconic Adidas and Damian Lillard has caught the attention of her teammate Kelsey Plum and WNBA enthusiasts worldwide.

The 29-year-old Plum recently took to Instagram and shared a story of teammate Gray’s new collaboration. This once-exclusive player shoe made its debut during the Las Vegas Aces’ game versus the Chicago Sky last season.

The sneaker is covered in a vibrant palette of pastel colors. The player’s favorite color, vibrant orange, is prominently displayed on the forefoot and tongue tab of the shoe. A dramatic light purple pattern is used to decorate the rest of the top. Hot pink accents on the inner heel and Bounce-cushioned midsole contrast with the multicolored background to create metallic silver stripes that stand out against it. Check it out!

Gray’s ‘POINT GAWD’ moniker is prominently displayed on the heel counter and laces in a nicely complementary sky-blue shade.

Besides having a collaboration, Gray also shares a hometown connection with the Portland Trail Blazers star. Hailing from California itself, the 3-stripes have given a tribute to both the NBA and WNBA stars. While Lillard’s future is still hanging in the balance, Gray and the Aces are set for a successful playoff campaign.

A WNBA title defense for the Las Vegas Aces

Las Vegas’ successful regular season campaign can’t be credited to any one single player, with the Aces having an All-Star lineup backing their regular season form. While maintaining their impressive performance, the Aces are not solely focused on securing a playoff spot. Their sights are set on a triumphant title defense.

If the Aces clinch the 2023 WNBA championship, it will mark the first successful title defense since the 2002 LA Sparks. With their stacked lineup including Kelsey Plum, A’ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray, the Aces are resolute in their quest to make history and secure their legacy among the league’s all-time greatest champions.
