Kevin Durant earned his 15th All-Star nod on Thursday, and he will earn a nice bonus thanks to a contract incentive.

For the first time in a half-century, the Knicks have two All-Star starters. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns were named to the Eastern Conference squad for the Feb. 16 game in San Francisco, the NBA announced Thursday.

Kevin Durant is now a 15-time All-Star after being voted a starter for the West in the 2025 NBA All-Star game on Feb. 16.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant was named an NBA All-Star Game starter in the frontcourt for the Western Conference on Thursday.

The starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game have been announced, and some familiar faces lead the way. The announcement came on TNT’s Inside the NBA on Thursday night, before tipoff between the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat.

So some like Alperen Sengun, Domantas Sabonis and Jaren Jackson might get reserve spots. But the real tough decision is measuring Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Anthony Davis against Victor Wembanyama. I’ll go with Durant and LeBron this time — and assume the other two will be in the game.

Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others are Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998

The league is as rich with talent as it has ever been. Someone was bound to get snubbed. But one stands out above the rest.

The NBA head coaches have to pick two guards, three frontcourt players and two "wild card" players at any position for the reserves. The West All-Stars have five frontcourt reserves in Davis, Jackson Jr., Sengun, Wembanyama and Jalen Williams.
