The full rosters for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game were unveiled on Monday morning (PH time), with the league announcing 14 more reserves for the basketball extravaganza. The 10 starters were announced a couple weeks ago ahead of the All-Star Game, which will feature a brand-new USA vs. the World format.

 

Here are the starters and reserves for the Eastern Conference as they get set for their All-Star appearances at the Intuit Dome on February 16. 

 

 

 

 

The Greek Freak has been one of the few bright spots for the Milwaukee Bucks this season, averaging 28.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game. Antetokounmpo is in danger of missing the All-Star Game, though, after he suffered a calf injury in the Bucks’ loss to the Denver Nuggets last January 24.

 

 

 

Jaylen Brown secured a spot in the starting lineup for the Eastern Conference after he led the Boston Celtics to a terrific start in the 2025-26 season. Brown averaged 29.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game for the Celtics, who are ranked second in the Eastern Conference despite missing the services of the injured Jayson Tatum.

 

 

 

Brunson has been a vital cog for the Knicks, who started the season with a 30-18 record. The 29-year-old guard leads New York in scoring and assists, averaging 27.6 points and 5.9 assists through the Knicks’ first 48 games. This is the second straight year that Brunson has been named an All-Star starter.

 

 

 

Cunningham is one of the main reasons why Detroit holds the best record in the Eastern Conference this season. He has made 41 starts for the Pistons this campaign, averaging a team-best 25.4 points and 9.7 assists. This is the first time Cunningham has been named an All-Star starter. 

 

 

 

Maxey was named an All-Star starter for the Eastern Conference after posting monster numbers for Philadelphia this season. He is fifth in the league in scoring, averaging 29.2 points per outing. He is also 10th in the NBA in assists, averaging 6.9 dimes per game.

 

 

 

 

Mitchell has been outstanding for the Cavs this season, leading the team not only in scoring (29.1 PPG), but also in assists (5.8 APG) and steals (1.5 SPG). His efforts were recognized by the league as he was named an All-Star reserve for the Eastern Conference.

 

 

 

Johnson was named an All-Star for the first time in his career after excelling for the Atlanta Hawks this season. The former Duke star is averaging 23.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 8.0 assists for the Hawks this campaign, becoming Atlanta’s top offensive option following Trae Young’s move to Washington.

 

 

 

 

Towns earned his sixth All-Star selection after he was named a reserve for the East. The New York Knicks big man has averaged 20 points and 11.8 rebounds in 31.6 minutes through 45 games this season. 

 

 

 

Siakam became an All-Star reserve despite the Pacers having a woeful 13-36 record this season. He has been outstanding for Indiana this campaign, averaging 23.8 points per outing while posting a career-best 28.9 percent usage rate. This is the fourth time Siakam has been named an All-Star.

 

 

 

Powell was named an NBA All-Star for the first time in his career after posting solid numbers for the Miami Heat this season. He has started in all 43 games, averaging a career-best 23.0 points per outing. He has been a key offensive weapon for the Heat, leading the team in field goals made, three-point field goals made, free throws made, and double-figure scoring games.

 

 

 

Barnes became an All-Star for the second time in his five-year career after he delivered incredible numbers for Toronto in the 2025-26 season, averaging 19.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. He also has been stellar on the defensive end, averaging 1.5 blocks per game, good for 10th in the NBA.

 

 

 

Duren earned his first career All-Star selection, having played a huge role in Detroit’s ascent to being the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference. He has been a key piece in the Pistons’ frontcourt, averaging 18.0 points, 10.7 boards, and 0.9 blocks per game. Duren is currently ranked sixth in the league in rebounding.
