Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has been named one of the 10 NBA All-Star Game starters for the 2025 edition of the game, while Anthony Davis was left off and will have to be named a reserve in order to participate.
The 2025 season brings about a new version of the All-Star Game. The 10 starters and 14 reserves will be split into three teams of eight — drafted by Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith — with Rising Stars making up a fourth teams of eight in a tournament style competition.
Because of this, the five starters in each conference are more symbolic, but they were still voted in by 50% fan vote, 25% player vote and 25% media vote as has always been the case in the old format.
