WNBA All-Star Game: Storm C Dominique Malonga becomes youngest player to dunk, double-double in event

Seattle Storm center Dominique Malonga reached two major milestones during the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago. The 20-year-old athlete became the youngest player in the history of the event to record a successful dunk. She achieved this feat in the second quarter with an assist from Angel Reese.

Malonga did not stop there. She finished the night with 12 points and 13 rebounds, making her the youngest player to record a double-double in the history of the WNBA All-Star Game. While she has shown this athletic ability in Europe and during her initial practice sessions with the Storm, this marks her first dunk within the scope of her professional league play.

The performance provided a bright spot for the 20-year-old as she continues her development in the league. Expectations for her to dunk have been a recurring topic, with teammates publicly joking about the necessity of the act. Her successful effort ensured that team morale remains high even as the Storm navigate a difficult season with a record of 6-23.

This performance highlights the potential of the second-overall pick from the 2025 WNBA Draft. Despite the team's current standing, Malonga continues to post progress in her second professional season. Fans are now watching to see if this performance marks a shift in her contributions during regular-season games.
