James, Curry, and Durant, three pillars of the USA's gold medal-winning team at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, will be joined by Boston's Jaylen Brown, the New York Knicks' Jalen Brunson, and the Los Angeles Clippers' Kawhi Leonard. Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell and Miami's Norman Powell complete the lineup, known as "USA Stripes."
The other squad—"USA Stars"—features " -- features Detroit's Cade Cunningham, Minnesota's Anthony Edwards, and Oklahoma City's Chet Holmgren.
The roster also includes Phoenix Suns ace Devin Booker, Philadelphia's Tyrese Maxey, and Detroit's Jalen Duren.
The "World" team is led by Oklahoma City's Canadian star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning NBA Most Valuable Player; the Los Angeles Lakers' Luka Doncic; and the San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama along with Denver's Nikola Jokic.
The All-Star Game takes place in Los Angeles on February 15.
