The 2025 NBA All-Star Game is almost here, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the official rosters for both conferences. The starters, reserves, and coaches have now been revealed, showcasing an exciting lineup of some of the biggest names in basketball. With a blend of seasoned veterans and rising stars, the 2025 All-Star Game promises to be one of the most action-packed events of the year.

The starters for each conference were selected by fans, media, and coaches, while the reserves were chosen by the coaches of each conference. The event will feature an exciting new format this year, with a mini-tournament replacing the traditional team matchups. Here’s a breakdown of the teams, starters, reserves, and coaches for the Eastern and Western Conferences.

Here's NBA All-Star's new format for 2025

Instead of the traditional single exhibition game, the NBA has implemented a three-game tournament involving four teams.

The 24 All-Star selections have been divided into three squads, each drafted by TNT analysts Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith.

The fourth team will consist of the winners of the Rising Stars Challenge, showcasing the league's top young talent.

The head coaches for the All-Star Game were decided based on the teams with the best records in each conference as of February 2.

An assistant coach from these teams will lead both the Rising Stars champions and the remaining All-Star squad.

The teams will battle for a $1.8 million prize pool, with each player on the winning team receiving $125,000.

Players on the second-place team will earn $50,000 each, while those on the third and fourth-place teams will receive $25,000 each.

The All-Star Game kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on February 16, with TNT offering full coverage of the event.
