The NBA unveiled the starters for the 2025 All-Star Game on Thursday during Inside the NBA’s pregame show, with the official announcement following shortly after.

In the Eastern Conference, a notable pair of New York Knicks players boosted the starting lineup, as Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns earned their spots.

In Towns’ debut season with the Knicks, he secured a place among the starters. Brunson, who has been outstanding for New York, is joined in the backcourt by Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell.

Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics and Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks claimed their places in the frontcourt.

Over in the Western Conference, Lakers legend LeBron James continued to add to his historic legacy by extending his record of All-Star selections to 21.

Joining him in the backcourt are Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry and Oklahoma City Thunder standout Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

In the frontcourt, two dominant players – Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets and Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns – are also set to start alongside James.
