New York Knicks stars both young and old will unite for a returning All-Star event.

The Rockets' center Alperen Sengun has been selected to replace the Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Team World's lineup for NBA All-Star weekend.

The three-point shooting contest during All-Star weekend features a field of eight players, including this Trail Blazer.

Sengun will join a World Team roster stacked with other elite big men such as Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama

For the first time in four years, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won't participate at NBA All-Star weekend. Once he was ruled out through the break with an abdominal strain, the reigning MVP's absence let out some air from the balloon in a three-day event that highlights the league's best players.

Even amid an uneven season, the Heat will have participants on each day of All-Star Weekend. Saturday, Keshad Johnson was named to the four-player field for the dunk contest.

Yes, Damian Lillard, out for the season with a torn Achilles, is moving well enough and pushed to compete in this event.

It'll be a busy 2026 NBA All-Star weekend for Chet Holmgren. Not only will he participate in Sunday's three-team round-robin tournament that has replaced the traditional All-Star Game, but he will also be part of Saturday's fan-favorite activities.
