WNBA: Jonquel Jones named All-Star MVP in Chicago

Team Spoon wins the showcase

Team Spoon beat Team Coop 129-122 on Saturday night at a sold-out United Center in Chicago. A record crowd of 19,783 filled the building for the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game, the largest attendance the event has ever drawn.

Jonquel Jones ran the floor from the opening tip. The New York Liberty center finished with 22 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists, and she walked off with the All-Star MVP award.

Let’s do it

A first in league history

The trophy completed a set no player had ever assembled. Jones now holds all four of the WNBA’s MVP honors: regular season, Commissioner’s Cup, Finals and All-Star. Nobody else has claimed the full collection.

Jones played the night for her aunt, who had passed away and whose memorial fell on the same day. She pointed the performance in her direction afterward and called it a tribute.

Around the weekend

Caitlin Clark anchored the winning side while Paige Bueckers carried Team Coop. Rookie Azzi Fudd owned the skills stage a night earlier, becoming the first first-year player to win the WNBA 3-point contest.

The league now returns to regular-season action with its showcase weekend done and its attendance record freshly broken.
