Raptors’ Brandon Ingram replaces Warriors’ Stephen Curry in 2026 NBA All-Star Game
NEW YORK – Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram has been named by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to replace injured Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry on USA Stripes for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game. The 75th NBA All-Star Game will take place on Sunday, Feb. 15 at 5 p.m. ET at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., airing on NBC and Peacock.
The 6-8 Ingram has earned his second NBA All-Star selection, his first since the 2019-20 season, when he was also named the Kia NBA Most Improved Player. In his 10th NBA season, he is averaging 22.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 52 games. Ingram ranks 16th in the NBA with 1,143 total points, highlighted by 33 games with 20 or more points.
Ingram has helped lead Toronto to a 32-22 record, fifth place in the Eastern Conference. He joins Raptors guard-forward Scottie Barnes (USA Stars) and head coach Darko Rajaković (World head coach) in the NBA All-Star Game.
Curry is unable to participate in the NBA All-Star Game because of right patellofemoral pain syndrome. He was voted a starter, marking his 12th NBA All-Star selection.
The NBA All-Star Game will feature two teams of U.S. players (USA Stars and USA Stripes) and one team of international players (World) competing in a round-robin mini-tournament with four 12-minute games. Team rosters are available here.
