Kahleah Copper is officially headed to the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game, stepping in as an injury replacement for Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum on Team Coop. This is a huge deal, marking her fifth career All-Star selection and her second time representing Phoenix.

Copper’s Season Has Been Absolutely Electric

Seriously, this 31-year-old has been on fire! She ranks seventh in the entire WNBA in scoring, dropping a ridiculous 20.5 points per game through 27 outings. But she’s not just a scorer, also pulling down 3.7 boards, dishing out 1.8 assists, and snagging 0.7 steals per contest. We are talking about elite production here.

Elite Company for a Top Scorer

Want to talk about clutch scoring? Copper is one of only five players in the whole league to hit 40 or more points in a single game this year. That is crazy! She also boasts 14 games with 20 or more points this season, putting her fourth in the league for that metric. When she gets going, there is no stopping her.

The 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game tips off on Saturday, July 25 in Chicago, live from the United Center at 5:30 p.m. MT. Get ready to watch her light it up!
