On Tuesday, the NBA announced the lineups for this year\u2019s All-Star Celebrity Game:<\/p>\n

Both teams are stocked with a cast of characters and even have some NBA talent involved with the game. One team will be coached by the Antetokounmpo brothers, Giannis<\/a>, Alex and Thanasis, along with L.A. Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts. The opposing team will have the trio of Anthony Anderson, Instagram star Lethal Shooter and trainer Chris Brickley.<\/p>\n

On the court for the Antetokounmpos, fans will see stars like Keegan-Michael Key, Shams Charania of ESPN \u2014 which could be quite interesting just days after the trade deadline \u2014 Jeremy Lin, rapper Glorilla and Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Anderson’s team includes actor Simu Liu, renowned record producer Mustard, Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia, L.A. Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen and former NBA guard Jason Williams.<\/p>\n

An interesting cast of characters are on tap for the 2026 version of the Celebrity All-Star Game. One of the biggest characters, Giannis Antetokounmpo, could also be a main character this week as the trade deadline approaches. It\u2019s been made clear that he is reportedly ready to move on from Milwaukee, so the timing of this exhibition couldn\u2019t be more perfect.<\/p>\n

Given the fact that the person (Shams) who is likely to break the news of any potential trade involving Antetokounmpo<\/a> will be on the same team just days later, it could not have been set up any better by the NBA. It doesn\u2019t seem like a coincidence that Shams and Giannis will be taking part in the game and forced to work together. This should be a fun way to kick off the weekend that runs through Sunday, ending with the actual All-Star Game.<\/p>\n

The 2026 NBA Celebrity All-Star Game tips off on Friday, Feb. 13 at 7:00 p.m. ET, at the KIA Forum in Inglewood, California, and will air exclusively on ESPN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Tuesday, the NBA announced the lineups for this year\u2019s All-Star Celebrity Game: Both teams are stocked with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":580134,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[3556,108,78314,7,78315,77681,10581,2019,130,22397,34689,102,6052,6,2059,472,567],"class_list":["post-580133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-amon-ra-st-brown","tag-antetokounmpo","tag-anthony-anderson","tag-basketball","tag-celebrity-all-star-game","tag-celebrity-game","tag-chargers","tag-detroit-lions","tag-espn","tag-jeremy-lin","tag-keenan-allen","tag-milwaukee","tag-mookie-betts","tag-nba","tag-nba-communications","tag-phoenix-suns","tag-shams-charania"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116008252116945202","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=580133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/580134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
