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.
