PHOENIX — The Kelsey Plum sweepstakes are heating up. 

But the question on everyone’s mind is whether the Sparks will actually succeed in moving Plum before Sunday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline. 

The Sparks dealt a major haul — including the 2025 No. 2 pick that became Dominique Malonga — to acquire Plum ahead of the 2025 season. 

Plum signed a one-year deal, just shy of $1 million, this offseason. But Plum reportedly doesn’t intend to stay in Los Angeles beyond this season.
