It’s go-time for NBA All-Star Weekend, and after some last-minute changes, rosters are finalized.

The very last change came on Thursday, with San Antonio Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox being named to replace Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who won’t play due to a nagging right calf strain. Antetokounmpo has missed the past eight consecutive games because of the injury, which also cost him eight games in December.

That means fans in LA won’t get to see the Greek Freak, who was the subject of trade deadline rumors that never came to fruition, but instead get Fox, who is bringing a sneaky good season into a yet-again reformatted All-Star game.

In his ninth season, this will be Fox’s first All-Star appearance. Through 45 games, he’s averaging 19.4 points, 3.8 boards, and 6.3 assists. He’ll join Team World in the new, three-team All-Star game format in which rosters were constructed to highlight the NBA’s global appeal. While two of this year’s squads, Team Stars and Team Stripes, are made up of American-born players and coaches, Team World’s players were all either born outside the U.S. or have international roots.

That latter detail: that some Team World players can actually have been U.S.-born, made for interesting roster decisions. For some players, like Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama, born in Canada and France, respectively, Team World was obvious.

But the New York Knicks’ Karl-Anthony Towns originally hails from Edison, N.J., yet plays on the Dominican Republic national team in international competition due to his mother’s Dominican heritage. Heat Guard Norman Powell was born in San Diego, but plays internationally for Jamaica; he’ll also play for Team World.

They’ll face a who’s-who of longtime NBA stars (Jaylen Brown, Kevin Durant, Jalen Brunson, and LeBron James in his potentially last All-Star Game), some younger faces (the Detroit Pistons’ Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren and the Atlanta Hawks’ Jalen Johnson) on the Stars and Stripes.

The teams will face each other in a round-robin format with four, 12-minute games to decide who takes the All-Star crown for 2026.
