WNBA Star Kelsey Plum Lands New Off-Court Job

Kelsey Plum is in the midst of her ninth WNBA season, suiting up as a veteran guard for the Los Angeles Sparks.

While the Sparks have lost each of their first two games to open up the 2026 WNBA regular season, Plum is performing at an elite level. The four-time All-Star currently ranks third in league scoring, averaging 26 points per contest.

On Thursday, Plum was announced as an active-player contributor for Amazon Prime Video’s expanding WNBA coverage.

"Kelsey's had a standout career in the WNBA and is a dynamic presence in women's basketball," Prime Video executive Amina Hussein said in a statement. "We're building something special with WNBA on Prime, and her contributions to our broadcast as a current league veteran will add to our goal of delivering fans an authentic, player-driven experience."

"I'm excited to join Prime Video this WNBA season, as the league has never been more valuable in terms of media deals and viewership,” Plum added. “There's so much talent and momentum around the league, and I look forward to bringing fans a current player's perspective while highlighting the personalities and storylines that make the game so special."
