Victor Wembanyama Selected for First NBA All-Star Game at Age 21

The French basketball prodigy will join LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant in a revamped All-Star format on February 16 in San Francisco.

Victor Wembanyama, the 21-year-old San Antonio Spurs player, becomes the fourth Frenchman to be selected for the NBA All-Star Game, following Tony Parker, Joakim Noah, and Rudy Gobert.
Wembanyama was chosen as one of 14 All-Star reserves by NBA coaches, highlighting his impressive second season with improved stats of 24.4 points per game and the Spurs' notable progress.
The All-Star Game will feature a new mini-tournament format, with four teams competing, including one team of young players who qualify through a separate event.
Wembanyama will play alongside NBA legends like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry as part of the Western Conference roster.
The February 16 event in San Francisco aims to reinvigorate the All-Star weekend with a prize pool of $1.8 million and a unique scoring system for its matches.
