NBA All-Star Game 2026 Rosters Revealed for USA vs. The World Format
And now the teams are set.
The 2026 All-Star game will feature a new round-robin format, with the 24 All-Stars split between three teams—one team of international players and two teams of players from the United States.
There will be four 12-minute games in total, with each team facing one another in the round-robin format. The two best teams based on record (or point differential if each team has an identical 1-1 record) will face off in the championship round.
Here are the rosters for the game:

Nikola Jokić, C, Denver Nuggets

Jalen Brunson, G, New York Knicks

Analysis
The World Team is pretty stacked, featuring Jokić and SGA, who have claimed four of the past five MVP awards. Not to mention potential MVP winners in the future like Dončić and Wemby.
A starting 5 that includes those four is going to be nasty. The two USA squads have their work cut out for them.
The USA stars roster has a youth movement feel to it, headlined by players like Edwards, Booker and Maxey. Expect that bunch to push the pace and give the other two teams issues with its athleticism and length.
Don't sleep on the veteran savvy on that Stripes roster, however. James, Curry, Durant and Leonard are All-Star mainstays, while Brown and Brunson are each having excellent seasons. This isn't a group with a true center, which could be interesting against the size of the other two rosters.
