Anthony Edwards egregiously snubbed as NBA All
Sports Illustrated • • general
Key Points:
- The NBA announced the 2025-26 All-Star starters, with Anthony Edwards notably excluded from the Western Conference starting five despite strong season performance.
- Western starters are Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Victor Wembanyama, and Stephen Curry, with fan voting (50%) heavily influencing selections alongside player and media votes.
- Edwards ranked lower in fan voting (7th) compared to player (4th) and media (5th) votes, causing him to lose a tiebreaker to Wembanyama, while Curry's selection is viewed as a popularity and legacy pick.
- The All-Star Game format has changed to three teams—two U.S. teams
