On Monday, the NBA announced the starting lineups for the 2026 All-Star game. The annual showcase is slated to be held from February 13-15 in Los Angeles at the Intuit Dome, home of the Clippers. Every year fans vote for who they believe earned the honor of starting the All-Star game based on their play in the first half of the year; in recent years the league has opted to take into account coach and player votes as well.
This year is a bit different across the board. The NBA introduced a new “USA vs. World” format for the actual game itself and will add All-Stars if the nominations don’t match the numbers required (eight players for the “World” team, 16 for the “USA” team). Additionally, for the first time the starting lineups were positionless.
