LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Former Louisville men's basketball standout and current NBA star Donovan Mitchell has been named to the 2025 NBA All-Star Game as a starter for the Eastern Conference, the league announced Thursday night.

For the first time in nearly a half-century, the Knicks have two All-Star starters. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.

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.

Once again, Tom Thibodeau isn’t happy with how Jalen Brunson is being handled by the refs. “What goes on with him is ridiculous,” the Knicks coach said after his team’s 99-95 win over the Nets on Tuesday in Brooklyn.

Donovan Mitchell scored 34 points to lead the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers to a 126-106 NBA victory over Miami on Wednesday (Thursday, Manila time), maintaining their Eastern Conference lead over reigning champions Boston.

Jalen Brunson has been rewarded for his exceptional performance during the first half of the 2024-2025 season.

The Cleveland Cavs learned they have an All-Star starter. Will their wish for the other members of the core four to join Donovan Mitchell be granted?

It's Mitchell's sixth straight All-Star appearance and second career starting nod, both of which have come with the Cavs.

James will make his record 21st consecutive start as an All-Star and Curry, the long-time face of the Golden State Warriors, is now formally serving as host for the weekend with his 11th All-Star appearance. As of now, the Knicks are the only team with two All-Stars, despite being in third place in the East.

The Knicks will have two representatives in the starting lineup during the NBA All-Star Game on Feb 16. in San Francisco, Calif.
