The NBA are introducing a new America versus the World format for the 2026 All-Star Game as part of its latest attempt to revive excitement around the traditional weekend of games. The league has repeatedly altered the structure of the All-Star Game in recent years, including captain-led drafts and target-score endings, but have yet to find a solution to retaining a large audience. Officials are hoping that framing the contest around national pride will encourage a more competitive edge and finally solve their issues.
SAN FRANCISCO Steph Curry will be a starter for February's 15th's 2026 NBA All-Star game at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, the league announced on Monday morning. The Warriors' superstar joins Luka Doncic, reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama in the West's starting lineup. It is Curry's 12th All-Star nod and 11th start, making him one of only 17 players to earn a dozen appearances in the game with a single franchise.
