Stephen Curry will once again share the court with Olympic teammates LeBron James and Kevin Durant, this time at the 2026 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. 

The three superstars will lead USA Stripes in the league’s new USA vs. World format, facing off against USA Stars and a stacked international squad.

Curry, James, and Durant are joined on USA Stripes by former Finals MVP Jaylen Brown, NBA Cup MVP Jaylen Brunson, Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell, Heat sharpshooter Norman Powell, and two-time champion Kawhi Leonard, who was added by commissioner Adam Silver to fill the roster. 

Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson will coach the team.

USA Stars will feature 2024 Olympic gold medalists Anthony Edwards and Devin Booker, alongside Pistons standout Cade Cunningham, Thunder big man Chet Holmgren, Raptors wing Scottie Barnes, Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey, and first-time All-Stars Jalen Duren and Jalen Johnson under the guidance of coach J. Bikerstaff.

Team World will be loaded with reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, scoring leader Luka Doncic, three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama. 

First-time All-Stars Deni Avdija and Jamal Murray join Pascal Siakam and Karl-Anthony Towns, led by Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic.

The All-Star rosters were divided by age, with the younger U.S. stars placed on USA Stars and the older generation on USA Stripes, while Team World features the league’s top international talent. 

Meanwhile, the Intuit Dome debuts as the All-Star stage, with a court design inspired by the Los Angeles Clippers’ navy, red, and pacific blue palette. 

The uniforms, echoing the city’s rich basketball culture, and the court itself, celebrate both local pride and the NBA’s global reach.
