The NBA backed down and the All-Star Game recovered the classic East versus West format for the 2024 edition in search of a competitive spirit lost for years and that has weighed down the interest of fans in these matches.
LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo will be the captains of the West and East, respectively, after having received the most votes.
THE STARTING TEAMS FOR THE 2024 NBA ALL-STAR GAME
Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton, Damian Lillard and Joel Embiid were chosen as starters in the East. However, Embiid, MVP of the previous season, will miss the game due to injury.
Bam Adebayo, however, was announced by coach Doc Rivers as Joel Embiid’s replacement in the Eastern Conference starting lineup. Adebayo will become the seventh player to start in the All-Star Game as a member of the Miami Heat and the first since Dwyane Wade in 2016.
In the West, Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and Kevin Durant will back up LeBron James.
ANOTHER RECORD FOR LEBRON JAMES’ LONG LIST OF SUCCESS
The Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers, will also be the scene of LeBron James’ umpteenth record, who continues to accumulate marks at 39 years of age and in his 21st season in the League.
And the Lakers star is already the player with the most selections for the NBA All-Star Game with 20 in total.
