SAN ANTONIO \u2013 The San Antonio Spurs\u2019 brightest star will now have his chance to start alongside the biggest stars in the NBA galaxy at next month\u2019s All-Star Game. <\/p>\n
The NBA announced Monday that Victor Wembanyama, 22, was named as an All-Star Game starter for the first time in his career. He was an All-Star Game participant, as a reserve, in 2025. <\/p>\n
Wembanyama earned the label as starter along with fellow Western Conference starters Golden State guard Stephen Curry, Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Denver center Nikola Jokic. <\/p>\n
Now in his third season, Wembanyama is averaging 24.5 points, 10.9 rebounds, three assists and 2.6 blocks in 28 games. The Spurs enter Monday\u2019s game against the Utah Jazz with a 29-13 record and are the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. <\/p>\n
Wembanyama is now the sixth Spur to be named as an All-Star Game starter, joining George Gervin, Alvin Robertson, David Robinson, Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard. <\/p>\n
All-Star starters were determined by a weighted vote of fans (50%), NBA players (25%) and a panel of media members (25%). <\/p>\n
The 75th NBA All-Star Game will be held on Sunday, Feb. 15, at the Intuit Dome, the home of the Los Angeles Clippers. This year\u2019s new All-Star Game format of U.S. players versus international players is also set to debut. <\/p>\n
