Our very own Dominique Malonga from the Seattle Storm is officially an All-Star! She made Team Cynthia Cooper as a reserve, ready to show out at the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago. This is big for the Storm, seeing one of our players repping the Emerald City on such a huge stage.
The Windy City Is About To EXPLODE For the WNBA’s Big 30
Chicago is buzzing, hosting the All-Star Weekend for the second time ever, and for the league’s 30th anniversary season, no less. The main event, the All-Star Game on Saturday, July 25, is going down at the United Center. That arena is absolutely massive, holding over 23,000 fans, which is more than double the capacity of Wintrust Arena where the Sky usually play. That’s a huge step up! We’re talking about a weekend packed with star power, with names like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Breanna Stewart, and A’ja Wilson all set to hit the court. And honestly, everyone is fired up to see Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers go head-to-head after they were assigned to different teams by a coin flip, being the top two vote-getters. It’s going to be electric.
All-Star Weekend Is More Than Just the Game
This isn’t just a Saturday night game; it’s a full-on festival. The honorary general managers, Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weatherspoon, picked their rosters after Clark and Bueckers were split. Our girl Malonga landed on Cooper’s squad with Paige Bueckers, Breanna Stewart, and Angel Reese. Team Weatherspoon has Caitlin Clark, A’ja Wilson, and Aliyah Boston, so you know there’s going to be some serious competition. Before the big game on July 25 at 6:30 p.m. ET, fans can hit up WNBA Live at McCormick Place from Thursday, July 23, through Saturday. Then, Friday, July 24, at 6 p.m. ET, Skills Night kicks off at Wintrust Arena, featuring both the Shooting Stars event and the 3-point contest. While we don’t know the participants for those events yet, you know it’s going to be a blast. Plus, they’re even holding media availability and practices at the new Obama Presidential Center. Talk about a grand setting!
