The NBA on Tuesday unveiled the rosters for the new United States vs. World format in the 2026 All-Star Game on Feb. 15 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
The league announced the five starters in each conference, which were voted on by fans, a media panel and players, on Jan. 19 in a special announcement on NBC and Peacock. The seven reserves in both the Eastern and Western Conferences were announced on Sunday.

LA Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard was named as an addition to the player pool on Tuesday to bring the total number of U.S. All-Stars to 16, the minimum required under the new format. Leonard, who was viewed as perhaps the biggest snub, will make his seventh All-Star appearance.
