Overview
- The showcase will air on NBC, aligning with the network’s Milan-Cortina Olympic coverage window.
- The competition features a three-team round robin with four 12-minute games, a scheduled order starting with USA Stars vs. World, and a championship decided by record with point differential as the first tiebreaker.
- The USA Stripes roster centers on veterans such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard, while USA Stars skews younger with Anthony Edwards, Devin Booker, Tyrese Maxey and Chet Holmgren.
- The World team includes Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama; Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed but not expected to play, prompting roster-size adjustments.
- Kawhi Leonard was added shortly before the reveal, a move that coincided with Karl-Anthony Towns being placed on the World team, as the NBA also unveiled Jordan Brand’s 75th-anniversary uniforms and an Intuit Dome–inspired court.
