The WNBA All-Star Weekend is rolling into Chicago for its landmark 30th season, and our Seattle Storm players are absolutely front and center! Natisha Hiedeman is set to light up the 3-Point Contest, and Dominique Malonga snagged a reserve spot on Team Coop for the main event. You know what that means: we get to watch our Emerald City talent shine on the national stage, representing the best in the league. This isn’t just a celebration, it’s a showcase of what the Storm brings every single night, with the festivities promised to be “bigger than ever before.”
Dominique Malonga Joins Team Coop, Ready to Bring the Storm Thunder
Our very own Dominique Malonga is hitting the Windy City as a reserve for Team Coop, proving she’s among the league’s top talents. The 2026 All-Star Game is going down Saturday, July 25, at 8:30 p.m. ET, live on ABC. This coveted game will definitely highlight the weekend’s schedule, featuring a mix of renowned veterans and rising stars as they compete on two elite teams. Team Coop, co-managed by WNBA legend Cynthia Cooper and coached by Becky Hammon, drafted their squad from a pool of 22 All-Stars. Malonga is sharing the court with some serious firepower: Paige Bueckers, Breanna Stewart, and Kelsey Mitchell are all there. Knowing our Storm players, Dominique is going to bring that fierce Seattle energy to every minute she plays. It’s a huge look for her, and it’s even bigger for the Storm’s profile across the entire league.
Natisha Hiedeman Shoots for Glory in the 3-Point Contest
If you love a good deep shot, you absolutely cannot miss Natisha Hiedeman in the 3-Point Contest! She’s one of six players slated to compete for the title, showing off the kind of clutch shooting we’ve seen from her all season long. The contest is part of WNBA Skills Night, which kicks off Friday, July 24, at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. Hiedeman will be up against Azzi Fudd, Marina Mabrey, Rhyne Howard, Janelle Salaun, and Bridget Carleton in a two-round showdown. The two players with the highest scores from the first round move on to the final. You know Natisha’s got that fire, and Seattle fans will be glued to the screen, cheering on every single swish. While the Skills Challenge participants haven’t been announced yet, we’ve still got plenty of Storm-related action to keep us hyped.
So mark your calendars, Seattle. This is a must-watch weekend for anyone who bleeds green and blue. You can catch all the action on ESPN and ABC, or stream it live on fubo and the ESPN app. Ryan Ruocco on play-by-play, Rebecca Lobo as analyst, and Holly Rowe reporting will have the call for both days. But honestly, all our eyes will be on Malonga and Hiedeman as they take over Chicago, showing the league exactly what the Seattle Storm is all about. Let’s go, Storm!
