Delle Donne, the top All-Star vote-getter, suffered the concussion late in the third quarter when she hit her head against the knee of Mystics forward Kia Vaughn while going for a loose ball. Delle Donne had 12 points on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old Delle Donne is questionable for the All-Star game on Saturday. She came into the game averaging 18.6 points per game.

Trailing by seven, 81-74, with 1 1/2 minutes to play, Chicago made it close on Tamera Young's jumper and Swin Cash's layup. Tayler Hill stopped the brief run by making 1-of-2 from the foul line with 12.4 seconds to go.
