The 10 starters were named last week.
The 2025 All-Star Game will be a mini-tournament instead of the traditional East versus West format. Four teams of eight will each play three contests throughout one night, and the first team to score 40 points will be declared the victor of each game. The winning team from the Rising Stars Challenge - a contest between first and second-year players - will serve as the tournament's fourth squad.
The participants of the Rising Stars Challenge were announced earlier this week.
The All-Star festivities are scheduled to be held at Chase Center in San Francisco from Feb. 14-16.
