January 25 ------ Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and LeBron James were named among the starters for next month's NBA All-Star Game. Oklahoma City star Gilgeous-Alexander and Los Angeles Lakers icon James were included in the Western Conference's five starters along with Golden State's Stephen Curry, Phoenix's Kevin Durant and Denver's Nikola Jokic.
Gilgeous-Alexander has been in blistering form for the Oklahoma City Thunder this season, scoring a career-high 54 points in his most recent appearance on Wednesday. It will be the 26-year-old Gilgeous-Alexander's third All-Star selection. James, meanwhile, will be making his 21st All-Star Game -- all of them as a starter.
The Eastern Conference starters included the Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum and Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo. Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell earns his sixth All-Star appearance, with the starters completed by two New York Knicks players Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
The 2025 All-Star weekend will take place in San Francisco from February 14-16.
