“It feels really good. I was practicing a lot,” Malonga said. “I don’t want to be a practice (dunker), I want to do that in-game. So, I’m happy about that. I was happy to feel the love from the whole arena, actually. Everybody was so hyped up — it was a great moment.”

"I don't want to be a practice [dunker], I want to do that in-game. So, I'm happy about that." 😤

The 6-foot-6 Malonga, who was the No. 2 pick by the Storm in the WNBA draft this past season, became the second player to dunk in the two years that Unrivaled has existed. Brittney Griner had the first dunk in the inaugural season last year.

Malonga, who is 20 years old, finished the game with 21 points and eight rebounds to help the Breeze win 75-68. Teammate Paige Bueckers, who was the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft ahead of Malonga last year, led the Breeze with 28 points, seven assists and two steals.
