What happened: Yahoo Sports says Kelsey Plum is drawing interest as teams weigh late roster changes. She returned to Los Angeles in April on a one-year, $999,999 contract.

Why it matters: Her expiring deal creates rental risk for an acquiring club and gives Los Angeles a chance to recover assets before free agency. A move could reshape the backcourt market for playoff contenders.

What to watch: Watch whether negotiations produce an agreement before the Aug. 2 cutoff.
