The 2026 NBA All-Star Game is two weeks away, and the rosters for a three-team, "United States versus the World" format are taking shape.

On Sunday, the league announced the reserves NBA head coaches selected this year. LeBron James headlined the group of 14 players (CHECK). Even though his 21-year streak as an All-Star starter came to an end last month, he's still on an All-Star team for the 22nd consecutive season.

Here's the complete list of reserves:

Eastern Conference

• Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers

• Jalen Johnson, Atlanta Hawks

• Karl-Anthony Towns, New York Knicks

• Pascal Siakam, Indiana Pacers

• Norman Powell, Miami Heat

• Scottie Barnes, Toronto Raptors

• Jalen Duren, Detroit Pistons

Western Conference

• Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves

• Jamal Murray, Denver Nuggets

• Chet Holmgren, Oklahoma City Thunder

• Kevin Durant, Houston Rockets

• Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns

• Deni Avdija, Portland Trail Blazers

• LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers

The All-Star Game will be played in Inglewood, California, at the Los Angeles Clippers' Intuit Dome on Feb. 15. 

Voting determined the conference's starting fives

Fans are responsible for 50% of the vote that picks each conference's five starters. NBA players (25%) and a media panel (25%) account for the other slices of the vote.

Just as reserves were selected without regard to position, there were no positional requirements for the conference's starting fives. That's a first for the exhibition, which will soon be played in its 75th iteration.

Here are the starting fives for the Eastern and Western Conference:

Eastern Conference

• Giannis Antetokounmpo, F, Milwaukee Bucks

• Jalen Brunson, G, New York Knicks

• Cade Cunningham, G, Detroit Pistons

• Tyrese Maxey, G, Philadelphia 76ers

• Jaylen Brown, F, Boston Celtics

Western Conference

• Nikola Jokić, C, Denver Nuggets

• Luka Dončić, F, Los Angeles Lakers

• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, G, Oklahoma City Thunder

• Stephen Curry, G, Golden State Warriors

• Victor Wembanyama, F, San Antonio Spurs

Here's how the voting was split across players, fans and media:

It's important to note that Wembanyama and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards tied for the West's final starting spot with a 5.75 weighted score. Wembanyama, though, won the tiebreaker because he had 1,965,462 fan votes to Edwards' 1,960,957.

What you need to know about the All-Star Game's new format

This year's All-Star Game will feature three teams: Two will consist of players from the United States, and a third will be made up of players from the rest of the world.

In terms of the game itself, there will still technically be four 12-minute quarters, although each will be its own game, as each of the three teams will play twice during round-robin action. The fourth "quarter" will pit the two teams with the best records — point differential will be the post-round-robin tiebreaker if all three teams have 1-1 records — to decide a champion.
