Brandon Ingram Named To Replace Steph Curry On USA Stripes For 2026 NBA All-Star Game

Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram has been named by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to replace injured Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry on USA Stripes for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.

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

Ingram earns his second NBA All-Star selection 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 NBA with 1,143 total points and has scored at least 20 points in 33 games this season.

Ingram has helped guide Toronto to a 32-22 record, placing the Raptors fifth in the Eastern Conference. He joins teammate Scottie Barnes, selected to USA Stars, and head coach Darko Rajaković, who will serve as the World team’s head coach, in All-Star Game participation.

Curry will not play because of right patellofemoral pain syndrome. He had been voted a starter, marking what would have been his 12th NBA All-Star selection.

The NBA All-Star Game format will feature two teams of U.S. players—USA Stars and USA Stripes—along with one international team, World. The three teams will compete in a round-robin mini-tournament consisting of four 12-minute games. Team rosters are available through the league.
