Las Vegas Aces star Kelsey Plum has initiated divorce proceedings from her husband, New York Giants tight end Darren Waller.

The 29-year-old point guard took to social media to address the news and reflect on her marriage.

"I'm devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it's time to go. God has given me an incredible life, and I'm truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends. One day I'll share my story, today is not that day," the two-time WNBA champion posted on both Instagram Stories and X, formerly Twitter.

Plum was previously the NCAA women's basketball's all-time leading scorer before Caitlin Clark surpassed her tally during the latest college hoops season. Meanwhile, Waller was a Pro Bowl selection in 2020.
