NBA announces teams for 2026 Kia Shooting Stars

NEW YORK – The NBA today announced the teams for the 2026 Kia Shooting Stars on Saturday, Feb. 14 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.  The timed shooting competition returns to NBA All-Star Saturday, which tips off at 5 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

Four teams of three – each featuring two NBA players and one NBA legend – will compete in the event.  The teams reflect NBA All-Star connections, school and team affiliations, and family ties.

• Team All-Star: Toronto Raptors guard-forward Scottie Barnes and Oklahoma City Thunder forward-center Chet Holmgren, 2026 NBA All-Star Game teammates, are joined by three-time NBA All-Star Richard Hamilton.

• Team Cameron: Three Duke University alums who starred at Cameron Indoor Stadium team up – 2026 NBA All-Star Jalen Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks, Castrol Rising Star Kon Knueppel of the Charlotte Hornets and former 14-year NBA veteran Corey Maggette.

• Team Harper: Five-time NBA champion Ron Harper Sr. pairs up with his sons, San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper and Boston Celtics guard-forward Ron Harper Jr.

• Team Knicks: New York Knicks teammates Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, both 2026 NBA All-Stars, compete with Allan Houston, who made two NBA All-Star teams with New York and now serves as its Vice President of Player Leadership & Development.

Kia Shooting Stars will feature a two-round format, with all four teams competing in the first round and the top two advancing to the final round.  Teams will compete one at a time and have 1:10 to score points while rotating through seven designated shooting locations around the court, with all three players on a team shooting at each spot in a set order.  The team with the higher score in the final round will be crowned the champion.
