The WNBA All-Star Game is about to absolutely ignite the Windy City this Saturday, July 25, 2026, and our very own Seattle Storm is sending some serious talent to light up the Wintrust Center. Get ready, folks, because Dominique Malonga, a key reserve for our Storm, is officially on Team Cynthia Cooper, and you know she’s going to bring that Seattle fire to Chicago.
The WNBA All-Star Game is Always a Showdown
This isn’t just some exhibition game, you know? The WNBA All-Star Game consistently delivers one of the most competitive matchups across all major U.S. sports. It’s where style clashes with pure substance, and the best players on the planet are out there to truly dazzle. This year, all eyes will be on standouts like Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Olivia Miles, and the absolute MVP frontrunner, A’ja Wilson. Could we see another scoring record shattered? Last year, Napheesa Collier dropped a mind-blowing 36 points, setting a new high mark, and the record has fallen in back-to-back years! Someone is gonna chase that number again, you just know it. After a season that’s been a little quiet in Chicago, get ready for some serious fireworks when these stars descend on the home of one of the WNBA’s most polarizing franchises.
Team Coop: Stacked and Ready with Our Storm Star
Dominique Malonga is joining an incredible squad on Team Cynthia Cooper, playing alongside some of the biggest names in the league. We’re talking about stars like Paige Bueckers from the Dallas Wings and the unstoppable Breanna Stewart representing the New York Liberty. Kelsey Mitchell from the Indiana Fever, Natasha Howard of the Minnesota Lynx, and Gabby Williams from the Golden State Valkyries are also on the roster. Plus, reserves like Angel Reese from the Atlanta Dream, Marina Mabrey from Toronto Tempo, and Jackie Young from the Las Vegas Aces are ready to make a splash. Kahleah Copper from the Phoenix Mercury is stepping in as an injury replacement for Kelsey Plum, and Sonia Citron from the Washington Mystics rounds out this stacked team. Our girl Malonga is in fantastic company, and she’s going to make the Emerald City proud.
Team Spoon Brings the Heat for a Battle Royale
Facing off against Team Coop will be Team Teresa Weatherspoon, and they’ve got their own arsenal of superstars. Leading their charge are household names like Caitlin Clark from the Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson. Olivia Miles of the Minnesota Lynx, Aliyah Boston from the Indiana Fever, and Jessica Shepard representing the Dallas Wings are also ready to shine. Their reserve bench is just as deep, featuring Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray from the Atlanta Dream, Jonquel Jones of the New York Liberty, Courtney Williams from the Minnesota Lynx, Kiki Iriafen from the Washington Mystics, and Nneka Ogwumike of the Los Angeles Sparks. It’s going to be an absolute battle royale at the Wintrust Center.
