Starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star game were announced on Thursday night and the Denver Nuggets superstar center Nikola Jokić was named as a frontcourt starter for the Western Conference. Jokić will join Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns and LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers in the West frontcourt while Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder will man the backcourt for the West.
The starting lineups for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game were announced Thursday, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who received more than 4.4 million votes from fans, the most of any player. The leading vote-getter among Western Conference All-Stars was Nikola Jokić.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Stephen Curry were voted as the backcourt representatives in the Western Conference.
Jokić is putting up MVP-caliber numbers yet again this season, averaging 30.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, and a career-high 9.9 assists, playing in 34 of the Nuggets' 40 games so far this season. He has his team squarely in the middle of the playoff picture in the West, sitting in the 4th seed with a 24-16 record.
The starters were picked through a system of weighted balloting: 50% was fan voting, 25% was a media panel and 25% was voting by current players.
