The All-Star starters for the West this year include Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic. As for the East, their starting five consists of Giannis Antetokounmpo (who won't be playing due to injury), Jayson Tatum, Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Donovan Mitchell.

The 2024-25 NBA All-Star Game format is completely different from past years. Instead of having two teams go head-to-head, four teams will be competing in a tournament to determine the winner. The hope is that the players will show more effort than they have in previous iterations on the All-Star stage.
