The 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend wrapped up in Chicago with Team Spoon defeating Team Coop, 129-122, in the featured game. The event underscored the league's momentum and visibility, while also creating a clear list of winners and losers from the weekend's biggest moments.
Jonquel Jones was the most obvious winner. She powered Team Spoon to the victory and earned All-Star Game MVP after finishing with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Her performance set the tone for the night and gave the weekend one of its defining highlights.
Dominique Malonga also emerged as one of the players who boosted her profile in Chicago. While Jones grabbed the top individual honor, Malonga's strong showing added to the sense that the WNBA's present and future were both on display during the festivities.
On the other side of the ledger, the Chicago Sky were framed as one of the weekend's disappointments, with their no-show standing out in a city hosting the celebration. Even with that letdown, the overall picture from 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend was one of star power, league growth and another successful showcase for the sport.
