The San Antonio Stars are moving to the gambling mecca after being bought by MGM Resorts International, the league said Tuesday. "Las Vegas has been on our radar screen for some time," WNBA President Lisa Borders said in a phone interview. The team will join the NHL as a second professional team in Las Vegas — with the NFL soon to follow.

Plum was excited for the move to Las Vegas, which is closer to Southern California, where she grew up.
