Here's everything you need to know about 2026 NBA All-Star Game voting including rosters, leaders and results.

In a new U.S. vs. World format for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, two teams of U.S. players and one team of international players (known as the World team) will compete in a round-robin tournament featuring four 12-minute games. The three teams will each have a minimum of eight players.

Jimmy Butler won't mind if he misses the All-Star Weekend festivities this year “Don’t vote for me guys,” the 36-year-old wrote. “Instead somebody create a gofundme to send me to Barbados. . Thanks in advance. GO WARRIORS.”

Problems with the format aside, there are some players who have never been All-Stars who are deserving of the honor this season. Not everyone will make the cut, of course, but what follows is the argument in favor of naming some first-time selections. The operative word there being "some."

Siakam was named an All-Star in 2025, his first and only full season with the Pacers after a January 2024 trade brought him to the franchise. The veteran forward, who is in his 10th NBA season, is a three-time All-Star and two time All-NBA team member.

Austin Reaves and Jamal Murray have never been named to the team, plus a handful of up-and-comers are making this season’s race tight.

Lou Williams called Jimmy Butler’s refusal of All-Star votes a "red flag" and urged the NBA to let hungry young stars take spots from "legacy" veterans.

Kevin Garnett has urged the Los Angeles Lakers fanbase, and NBA fans in general, not to waste an All-Star vote on LeBron James.

Afseth writes that the Cleveland Cavaliers, reeling with a mediocre 15-14 record thus far, could be open to a major shakeup. Afseth suggests that the team may look to fire reigning Coach of the Year Atkinson or trade All-Stars Darius Garland or Jarrett Allen.
