A'ja Wilson was horrified that Kelsey Plum ate sushi after projectile vomiting

A'ja Wilson was horrified that Kelsey Plum ate sushi after projectile vomiting

After struggling for much of the 2024 regular season (at least compared to the last 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 win over the Seattle Storm in the first round of the WNBA playoffs. But the Aces' early-season woes are now weighing on them again, meaning they will have to play the No. 1 seed New York Liberty, who beat them in the 2023 WNBA Finals, in the semifinals that begin Sunday.

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

On Thursday, the @espnW Instagram account posted a clip of Plum saying, “I vomited projectiles in Game 1. The whole game,” after 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 disgusted by Plum's comments.

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

Wilson looked horrified when Plum pointed to a sushi bar and covered her while leaning away.

“After you threw up, did you go out for 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 Wilson responded by saying, “I wanted to eat clean, you know?”

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