The NBA on Thursday released the full lineup for All-Star Saturday Night, set for Feb. 14, 2026, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The prime-time program begins at 2 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock and will feature the State Farm 3-Point Contest, the AT&T Slam Dunk and the revived Kia Shooting Stars event.
State Farm 3-Point Contest
Eight shooters headline a field that blends established veterans with rising talent. Two former champions return, including Damian Lillard, who is missing the 2025-26 season because of a torn Achilles but will still compete from long range.

- Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers
- Tyrese Maxey, Philadelphia 76ers
- Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers
- Jamal Murray, Denver Nuggets
- Bobby Portis, Milwaukee Bucks
- Norman Powell, Miami Heat
Mitchell could become the first player to capture both the Slam Dunk and 3-Point crowns during his career if he wins the long-ball title. Reigning champion Tyler Herro declined to defend his 2025 trophy.
Kia Shooting Stars
The Shooting Stars contest returns for the first time since 2015, now featuring current NBA players paired with former NBA standouts instead of the previous NBA-WNBA-legend format.

- Jaxson Hayes, Los Angeles Lakers
- Keshad Johnson, Miami Heat
