New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson will open the NBA All-Star Game for the second season in a row, the league announced on January 19, 2026.
The selection secures consecutive starting nods for the 29-year-old, who joined the Knicks in 2024 and quickly became the centerpiece of the team’s backcourt.
Brunson’s repeat honor marks the first time a Knicks player has earned back-to-back starting spots in the midseason showcase since the franchise’s 1970s championship era.
The 75th NBA All-Star Game is scheduled for February 15 in San Francisco.
