The NBA has officially announced the starters for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
The Eastern Conference starters are Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, making his 10th All-Star appearance, alongside New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey, and Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown.
In the Western Conference, the starters include Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (8th All-Star selection), Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic (6th), Oklahoma City Thunder reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, and San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama, who earns his second All-Star nod.
