The list of the 2026 NBA All-Star starters was unveiled, which features some big names alongside several new faces. The list does not include LeBron James for the first time in 22 years. This is not a surprise, as the Los Angeles Lakes superstar was not near the top of early fan voting returns.

However, it remains to be seen if the NBA icon earns a reserve spot. Meanwhile, the list includes four former MVPs and NBA champions, while four of them have entered the honor for the first time. Jaylen Brown has claimed the spot, beating Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time in the East.
Additionally, Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs edged Anthony Edwards to earn the last starter slot in the West.
