Kelsey Plum, Diana Taurasi Involved In Multi-Player Altercation During Aces-Mercury

On Tuesday night, Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury defeated Kelsey Plum and the Las Vegas Aces by a final score of 98-88. Both teams move to 2-1 on the season.

Despite the win, Taurasi struggled throughout the game, only scoring nine points on 3 of 13 shooting. Plum scored 27 points for the Aces in the loss.

Late in the second quarter, with just over a minute remaining, an altercation broke out between multiple players from both teams. The squabble started after things got a little heated between Jackie Young and Sophie Cunningham. Taurasi and Plum ended up in the middle of the altercation, along with several others.

“Two things about this scuffle…
1. If Jackie Young is mad… YOU did it!
2. Kelsey Plum instinctively is gonna ride.”
