Viktor Vembanjama among the starters!

Just in time for “Martin Luther King Day” NBA announced the East and West starters for the 2026 All-Star Game, which will be held on February 15 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.

Determined thanks to the votes of fans (50%), players (25%) and journalists (25%), we find Jalen Brunson (Knicks), Tyrese McKay (Sixers), Cade Cunningham (clips), Jailen Brown (Celtics) et Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks) for the East, as well as Stephen Curry (warriors), Luka Dončić (Lakers), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder), Nikola Jokic (Nuggets) et Victor Vembanyama (Spurs) for the West!

This is, therefore, the first start for “Wembey”, who was already an All-Star last year, before he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, but then it was as a substitute!

End of streak for LeBron James

This is also the first French player from either Tony Parkeris Joachim Noahis Rudy Gobert he was never selected as an All-Star starter.

In any case, even if Stephen Curry was particularly preferred to Anthony Edwards in the West, it is a real generational change, because LeBron James etc Kevin Durant they are not carriers. For the “King”, it is the end of the series of 21 consecutive selections in the top five of the All-Star game…

However, we remind you that technically there will be 15 holders this year during the All-Star game because there will actually be three teams (of eight players): two made up of American players and one of international players.

Therefore, we already know 5 of the 8 international players who will participate in the event (barring injury) and therefore have 11 spots available on the US side.
