Before the NBA's best take center-stage for All-Star weekend in Los Angeles, some of America's famous faces will take place in a basketball game of their own. The 2026 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is set to take over the historic Kia Forum in Inglewood on February 13, serving as the star-studded kickoff to the league's 75th-anniversary celebration.
The rosters offer a classic Hollywood blend of hip-hop royalty, viral creators, and crossover athletes. Hometown hero Mustard and rapper GloRilla are set to make their hardwood debuts, while Marvel star Simu Liu and reigning Celebrity Game MVP Rome Flynn return to see if they can reclaim their glory. The game also features some legitimate size and speed: 7-foot-6 fan favorite Tacko Fall and NBA champion Jeremy Lin will be patrolling the paint, while NFL stars Amon-Ra St. Brown and Keenan Allen look to prove their athleticism translates to the hoop.
Adding to the spectacle, the sidelines will be just as crowded with talent. Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is returning to the coaching ranks alongside his brothers, looking to out-strategize a coaching staff led by actor Anthony Anderson and Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts. With a first-ever K-pop halftime performance by CORTIS on the schedule, the night is shaping up to be as much of a cultural event as it is a basketball game.
Here are the full rosters for both Team Giannis and Team Anderson.
