Kelsey Plum is going to the Los Angeles Sparks.

The former Las Vegas Aces guard is in transition to her new base, but she has some major goals before she hits the locker room.

In the meantime, Plum is making headlines while hosting her annual “Dawg” camp with Under Armour. This event offers college players an opportunity to learn from the WNBA superstar. Plum hand-selects individuals who embody the “Dawg” mentality she values on the court.

Recently, a photo from Plum’s workout has gone viral on social media.

An X(formerly Twitter) account shared the workout photo with a funny caption.

“Posting for community service purposes only,” the caption read.

In the viral image, Plum seems to have gained some extra muscle mass. And fans on the internet are loving it.

Well, this body transformation looks obvious as she will be integrating with a young Sparks roster. And the WNBA superstar will be setting high standards for the likes of Dearica Hamby, Cameron Brik and Rickea Jackson.

However, last season, as a member of the Aces, Plum had impressive averages of 17.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 0.7 steals per game.

She is recognized as one of the top players in the WNBA, and the Sparks are looking to her to become the face of the franchise. The potential pairing of Plum with second-year player Brink holds promise for the team.

Kelsey Plum’s recent trade to the Sparks as part of a three-team deal altered the dynamics of the WNBA offseason. Especially with Jewell Loyd moving to the Las Vegas Aces.

While WNBA fans are eager to see how she will get along with the young team, her fans on social media are supporting her.

“Until the trainers’ table breaks,” a fan commented.

“good lordddd,” another one wrote.

“She can hit me with that weight plate, I’d thank her,” a third one commented.

“Oh hello,” another one wrote with a funny gif.

It will be interesting to see which player she picks with the “Dawg” in her.

Houston Texans star Azeez Al-Shaair has admitted regrets over his illegal hit to Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the ensuing brawl between the teams in a lengthy statement on social media.  

Al-Shaair’s statement comes as his three-game suspension as a result of the incident has ended and he is slated to return to the field for the Texans on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

On December 1, an Al-Shaair hit to the head of a sliding and defenseless Lawrence caused chaos in Jacksonville. The defensive back needed to be restrained by several coaches and Lawrence has not played since taking the barbaric contact.

‘While so many jumped at the first opportunity to hop on the false narrative – that l’m a dirty player or bad person – the messages from all who stood by me were the only things keeping me mentally afloat during a time of isolation,’ Al-Shaair said on social media.

‘I’ve learned so much from this entire experience. Seeing myself on video – letting my emotions get the best of me to the point where I completely lost it – was an embarrassing and eye-opening moment for me.’

‘I’ve had to earn everything in my life. I never want to allow anyone to get me to a point where I jeopardize everything that I’ve worked all my life to obtain. That was not the way I want to represent myself or my family and I will continue to learn and grow from that moment.’

Al-Shaair said during his three-game ban, he met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league executives for the first time, taking issue with how he was characterized in the official announcement of his suspension.

The defender said he thought his character and integrity were ‘unjustifiably smeared’ in the release but the meeting with Goodell and others was ‘productive’ and gave him hope it would not happen again.

‘In that conversation – man-to-man – I owned and acknowledged that my actions following my ejection were careless and, in that moment, I didn’t think about the responsibility I have been blessed with to represent the shield,’ Al-Shaair continued.

‘I also stated that the letter, and specifically the language used in the letter, was equally as careless and conveyed that the context of the words used were not a reflection of my character, nor my career, as I have not been warned multiple times for my play on the field.’

Al-Shaair’s hit on Lawrence was not the only controversial incident he was involved in this season.

During the Texans’ game against the Bears in September, he punched Roschon Johnson, who wasn’t even in the game at the time of another sideline confrontation.

Al-Shaair ended his statement by saying his view is that everyone in the league office and on the field are on the same team to represent the NFL in the best nature possible, something he failed to do earlier this month.

‘Lastly, I’ll say that this world is full of negative people who can’t wait to tear you down, but if you move with love and compassion, the seeds of good you planted in others’ lives can grow into the very tree that shades you with comfort and compassion when you need it most,’ Al-Shaair concluded.

‘I am a man of God, I am a leader, a warrior and a lover. I am also a hell of a football player and I’m grateful to be back doing what I love.’
