The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced the starters for the upcoming All-Star Game, and for the first time in a generation, the Los Angeles Lakers' forward LeBron James did not make the cut. His teammate Luka Doncic led the voting in the Western Conference and will be joined by Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, and Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. In the East, the Milwaukee Bucks' forward Giannis Antetokounmpo topped the voting and will be accompanied by New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey, Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham, and Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown.
