The Predictors

Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram has been added to the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, selected by Commissioner Adam Silver to replace Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry on the USA Stripes roster.

The 75th NBA All-Star Game will be played Sunday, Feb. 15 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, with tipoff scheduled for 5 p.m. ET. The event will air on NBC and Peacock.

Ingram’s selection marks his second career All-Star appearance and his first since the 2019-20 season, when he was also named the Kia NBA Most Improved Player. Now in his 10th NBA season, the 6-foot-8 forward is averaging 22.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across 52 games. He ranks 16th in the league in total scoring with 1,143 points and has recorded at least 20 points in 33 games.

Ingram has played a key role in Toronto’s success this season, helping the Raptors to a 32-22 record and fifth place in the Eastern Conference. He will join teammate Scottie Barnes, who was selected to the USA Stars roster, and Raptors head coach Darko Rajaković, who will coach the World team, in All-Star festivities.

Curry, who was voted in as a starter and earned his 12th All-Star selection, will miss the event due to right patellofemoral pain syndrome.

This year’s All-Star format features three teams — USA Stars, USA Stripes, and World — competing in a round-robin mini-tournament consisting of four 12-minute games.
