Jonquel Jones captured 2026 WNBA All-Star MVP honors with a 17-point, 12-rebound and seven-assist performance, adding another major individual award to her résumé. Her double-double powered a showing that left her only three assists short of a triple-double.
What happened
Jones earned the All-Star Game’s top individual honor with production across the scoring, rebounding and playmaking columns. She reached double figures in both points and rebounds while finishing within three assists of double digits in a third category.
The award completed Jones’s collection of the WNBA’s regular-season, Finals and All-Star Game MVP trophies. She won her regular-season MVP award in 2021 and added Finals MVP honors in 2024 before securing the final piece of the set in 2026.
Why it matters
Jones became the fourth player in WNBA history to win all three MVP categories. The distinction places her within a small group whose individual honors span regular-season performance, the championship stage and the league’s All-Star showcase.
The latest achievement also continued a notable stretch for Jones. Five days earlier, she reached seventh on the WNBA career double-doubles list, and her All-Star stat line supplied another points-and-rebounds double-double.
That sequence connected a career milestone with an award-winning All-Star performance in less than a week. The MVP honor added historical significance beyond the game itself because it completed a three-part collection that only three players before Jones had assembled.
By the numbers
Jones finished with 17 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists. The 12 rebounds secured the double-double, while the seven assists put her three shy of what would have been a triple-double.
Her line reflected contributions in three major statistical areas without requiring any one category to stand alone. The combination was enough to earn All-Star MVP and move Jones into the four-player group that has swept the league’s three principal MVP distinctions.
What to watch next
The WNBA regular season resumes after the All-Star break. Jones will return to regular-season play carrying the league’s newest All-Star MVP trophy and the distinction of having completed the MVP set.
Her next appearances will begin the post-break portion of the schedule. The All-Star result now becomes part of a 2026 season already marked by her rise to seventh on the career double-doubles list.
