Seattle Storm’s Dominique Malonga becomes youngest player to dunk in WNBA All-Star Game history
Seattle Storm centre Dominique Malonga became the youngest player to dunk in a WNBA All-Star Game, achieving the feat during Saturday night's exhibition contest. The dunk had been widely anticipated given Malonga's height and athleticism, and it adds to a growing highlight reel for the young player as dunking remains a rare spectacle in the WNBA, making any such moment notable.
The 6-foot-6 centre threw down the milestone slam in the second quarter after receiving a feed from Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese, taking advantage of the All-Star Game's relaxed, defence-light atmosphere. She became the seventh player in WNBA history to dunk during an All-Star Game.
