Of the 14 remaining 2026 NBA All-Star Game spots, 3 are for International players, and 11 are for U.S. players.
The 10 starters for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game have officially been announced, leaving 14 spots open for reserves.
Under the new format, the game will feature 16 U.S. All-Stars and eight International All-Stars.
Five of the eight International spots have already been claimed through fan voting:
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Luka Doncic
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Nikola Jokic
Victor Wembanyama
But what happens if more than eight international players are selected?
According to Keith Smith of Spotrac, all of them will make the team, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will then select additional U.S.-born players to ensure there are 16 U.S. All-Stars.
The same adjustment applies if not enough international players are chosen.
Meanwhile, head coaches will select seven reserves from each conference -- regardless of position -- to complete the 24-player roster.
This year, the All-Star Game will use a U.S. vs. World format.
