2025 NBA All-Star Rosters Announced with Notable Snubs

The finalized All-Star lineups highlight rising stars but leave out key players due to injuries and controversial selections.

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game rosters feature a mix of veteran legends like LeBron James and Stephen Curry alongside emerging stars such as Victor Wembanyama and Cade Cunningham.
Key omissions include Luka Dončić, LaMelo Ball, and Franz Wagner, all of whom faced injuries that impacted their All-Star candidacies.
Tyrese Haliburton, Trae Young, and Domantas Sabonis were also notable snubs, with strong statistical cases but falling short due to competition or team performance.
The selection process, determined by NBA coaches, included controversial picks like James Harden and Alperen Şengün over players with comparable or stronger metrics.
This year’s All-Star Game introduces a new format and will take place on February 16 at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
