Diggins finished with a triple-double on 14 assists, plus 11 points and 11 rebounds, the first triple-double ever in a WNBA All-Star Game. Team Collier's 151 points were also an All-Star scoring record, with seven different players in double digits.

The talks between the WNBA and the WNBPA loomed over the events. The sides met Thursday afternoon, with more than 40 players — a record, per the WNBPA — at the bargaining session. Liberty star Breanna Stewart characterized the meeting as a “wasted opportunity,” while Plum said the sides still have a “long way to go.”
