2025 NBA All-Star Game Preview
The highly anticipated 2025 NBA All-Star Game is set to take place at the Warriors’ Chase Center in San Francisco. This year’s event will feature a new format with three teams of NBA All-Stars, along with Team C, the winners of the Rising Star Challenge. The teams were drafted by TNT’s Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith, each with their own unique theme.
Some familiar faces will be hitting the court, including Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Nikola Jokic, Jalen Brunson, and Jayson Tatum. However, the absence of LeBron James, who is sitting out due to foot and ankle discomfort, will be notable. This will be the first All-Star Game without LeBron since 2004.
There are also some exciting newcomers to watch, such as Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama, who will be making his first All-Star Game appearance. Other first-time All-Stars include Evan Mobley, Cade Cunningham, Tyler Herro, and Alperen Sengun.
