The NBA has transformed the All-Star Game format. No longer is it just East vs West; this year introduces a tournament-style showdown where four teams of eight players will compete in three games.

Key Players

LeBron James, having achieved a record 21 All-Star selections, leads “Team Shaq” along with fellow stars Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. Regrettably, James is out of the game due to an ankle injury.

On Team Chuck, the talents of Nikola Jokić and Victor Wembanyama, the latter making his All-Star debut, shine bright.

Team Kenny showcases the league’s top young skills, featuring Anthony Edwards and Tyler Herro, the latter being the 3-Point Contest champion.

Meanwhile, Team Candace, regarded as the champion from the Rising Stars competition, is spearheaded by MVP Stephon Castle, representing fresh talent from previous drafts.
