Kelsey Plum (born August 24, 1994) is an American professional basketball player for the San Antonio Stars of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She completed her high school education at La Jolla Country Day School in La Jolla, a community that is part of San Diego, California. Plum attended and played college basketball for the University of Washington. On February 25, 2017, Plum scored a career-high 57 points on senior night–making 19 of the 28 shots she took–to break the NCAA Division I women's basketball all-time scoring record with 3,397 points. On March 20, 2017 Plum broke the NCAA record for points in a single season with 1,080. She was selected with the first overall pick in the 2017 WNBA Draft by the San Antonio Stars.
Plum is the daughter of Katie and Jim Plum. Her mother was an accomplished volleyball player for the University of California, Davis. Her father earned All-American honors playing high school football in La Mesa, California, and went on to play football and baseball collegiately at San Diego State. Plum has two older sisters, each of whom followed in their mother's footsteps and played volleyball. Her oldest sister Kaitlyn played for UC Davis, while Lauren played for the University of Oregon and for USA Volleyball's Junior National Team. Kelsey played volleyball at first, excelling in the USA Volleyball junior system, but when it came time for high school, she chose La Jolla Country Day School over Poway High School, where her sisters had attended, and Plum chose basketball over volleyball. La Jolla Country Day School is where Candice Wiggins played during her high school years.
