The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game took place in Chicago on Saturday night, with Team Spoon beating Team Coop by a 129-122 margin.

Let's take a look at some standout performances from the game.

Jonquel Jones gets MVP honors after flirting with a triple-double

New York Liberty center Jonquel Jones took home the All-Star Game MVP Award with a monster performance that saw her flirt with a triple-double in the game.

She finished with 22 points, 13 rebounds and was just two assists shy of the triple-double with eight. She did all of that in just 22 minutes of action.

This was her sixth All-Star Game appearance; it was a well-earned MVP performance.

Dominique Malonga makes highlights with dunk

One of the top individual highlights of the night came in the second quarter when Seattle Storm center Dominique Malonga, playing in her first All-Star Game, ignited the United Center crowd with a dunk, set up by Atlanta Dream (and former Chicago Sky) star Angel Reese.

The 20-year-old Malonga finished with a double-double, scoring 12 points to go with 13 rebounds.

Kelsey Mitchell finishes with game-high 28 points

The Indiana Fever sent three players to this year's game, with Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell all making appearances.

While Clark and Boston were on the winning team, with Clark recording 17 points including five 3-pointers, Mitchell ended up pacing all players in the game with 28 points in the losing effort for Team Coop.

Mitchell shot 11-of-19 from the floor, including 5-for-11 from 3-point range.

Had Team Coop been able to pull off the second-half comeback, Mitchell would have almost certainly earned MVP honors, but the rally fell just short.
