A’ja Wilson was stunned when Kelsey Plum ate sushi after projectile vomiting

After struggling for much of the 2024 regular season (at least compared to the past two seasons), the Las Vegas Aces have bounced back and look like the two-time defending WNBA champions that they are.

This was evident in their two-game sweep over the Seattle Storm in the first round of the WNBA playoffs. Still, the Aces’ early-season struggles now haunt them as it means they will face the No. 1 seed New York Liberty – whom they defeated in the 2023 WNBA Finals – in the semifinals, which start on Sunday.

While this series will likely pose major problems for the Aces, it appears star guard Kelsey Plum had some issues of her own during the Storm series.

On Thursday, the @espnW Instagram account posted a clip of Plum saying, “I was projectile vomiting in Game 1. The whole game,” following Tuesday’s win over the Storm.

The clip then pans to teammate A’ja Wilson’s face, who looks disgusted at what she just heard from Plum. The clip then shows Aces coach Becky Hammon also looking irritated by Plum’s comments.

“I kind of liked it, I was sitting at a sushi bar yesterday and I thought, you know what? I’m going to throw Game 1 out the window,” Plum continued.

Wilson looked bewildered as Plum pointed to a sushi bar and covered her as he leaned away.

“After you threw up, did you go get sushi?” Wilson then asked.

Coach Becky Hammon then made a subtle joke about Plum’s performance in Game 1 (she scored 2 points in 27 minutes played) before Plum responded to Wilson by saying, “I wanted to eat clean, you know?”

This hilarious series of interactions might be the most unhinged 10 seconds of a WNBA postgame press conference this season.
