Luka Doncic and LeBron James will represent the Los Angeles Lakers at the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, the league announced Thursday, marking another milestone season for both stars.
Doncic finished as the overall leading vote-getter and anchors the World roster, while James was selected as a reserve for the USA Stripes squad, pushing his All-Star streak to an NBA-record 22 consecutive seasons.
The exhibition adopts a new format at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, on Feb. 15. Three teams of eight players each—USA Stars, USA Stripes and World—will meet in a round-robin of three 12-minute games. The two teams with the best records will then play a fourth 12-minute contest to decide the winner. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock.
