In a formidable NBA All-Star game lineup revealed on Tuesday, LeBron James will rejoin with US Olympic teammates Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry.
Three teams—two composed of US players and one of overseas players—will compete in a revamped All-Star game.
Prior to the final game between the top two teams in the group, the three teams will compete in a round-robin mini-tournament.
Jaylen Brown of Boston, Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks, and Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers will join James, Curry, and Durant, three mainstays of the USA’s gold medal-winning squad at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Donovan Mitchell of Cleveland and Norman Powell of Miami round out the “USA Stripes” lineup.
Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns, Tyrese Maxey of Philadelphia, and Jalen Duren of Detroit are also on the roster.
Canadian sensation Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of Oklahoma City, the current NBA MVP, Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers, Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs, and Nikola Jokic of Denver lead the “World” squad.
The All-Star game is scheduled for February 15 in Los Angeles.
