Overview
- Dominique Malonga threw down the dunk in the 2026 WNBA All‑Star Game at the United Center on Sunday and finished the game with 12 points and 13 rebounds in 16 minutes.
- The play came off an interior assist from Angel Reese with roughly 6:27 left in the second quarter and produced on‑court celebration that included chest bumps from Reese and teammate Paige Bueckers.
- The Seattle Storm and WNBA said Malonga, 20, is the youngest player to dunk in an All‑Star Game and the youngest to record an All‑Star double‑double, though outlets report slightly different historic counts of WNBA dunks across regular games and All‑Star contests.
- Malonga had not recorded a dunk in a WNBA regular‑season game through her first 63 appearances but has dunked in European competition, Unrivaled play, and team practice, which added context to the All‑Star moment.
- The highlight underscored Malonga's breakout season as Seattle's leading young scorer and rebounder and is likely to raise expectations for her regular‑season performances after the All‑Star break.
