Los Angeles Sparks star had a strange explanation behind the league-wide three-point shooting slump.
Over the past couple of weeks, WNBA fans and pundits have noticed a significant drop in three-point shooting. Caitlin Clark, a career 33.5 percent shooter from downtown, is one-for-23 beyond the arc in her last three games.
Basketball analyst Trysta Krick posted an Instagram thread detailing the three-point struggles of several other WNBA stars, including Sabrina Ionescu, Marina Mabrey, Kelsey Plum and Paige Bueckers.
Kelsey Plum responded to the thread and claimed the players are struggling with their three-point shooting because they’re “tired” with a laughing emoji:
Per Basketball Reference, the league average for three-point shooting is 33.1 percent. That’s a tiny drop from the 33.8 percent average in 2024, and a small decrease from the 2023 average of 34.7. percent.
The 30-year-old Kelsey Plum is a career 38.6 shooter from beyond the arc, but she’s shooting a career-low 34.5 percent from long range in 2025. Plum also shot below her career average last season at 36.8 percent.
The law of averages means positive regression is coming for the many WNBA stars struggling from long-range shooting. But it’s more of an “unlucky’ factor than the world-class athletes being “tired.”

The Sparks are off to a sluggish 5-11 start, only ending their four-game losing streak against the Caitlin Clark-less Indiana Fever on Thursday. But LA’s struggles haven’t stopped Plum, who’s averaging a career-high 20.5 points per game.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.
Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.
Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?
Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.
“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
