Storm’s Dominique Malonga Earns First All-Star Nod

Seattle Storm forward Dominique Malonga has been named a WNBA All-Star reserve for the first time in her two-year career, the league announced on Tuesday.

Malonga, who is leading the Storm in points (15.9), rebounds (7.4) and blocks (1.2), was the only Storm player selected to play in the All-Star game. The former 2025 No. 2 overall pick has been on a meteoric rise when healthy this season and is the youngest player in this year’s event (20 years old).

The Storm (6-17) have struggled overall this season in the first year of a major rebuild. But Malonga has become the clear-cut No. 1 scoring option, which is what was expected of her when the franchise drafted her out of France last year.
