On February 6, TNT analysts Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith will draft teams from the 24-player All-Star pool. The teams will be named Team Shaq, Team Charles, and Team Kenny, adding a personal touch to the competition. The Rising Stars winner will represent Team Candace, honoring Candace Parker’s contributions to the game.
Who will coach the 2025 NBA All-Star Game?
The coaching staffs from the teams with the best records in the Eastern and Western Conferences will lead their respective teams in the All-Star Game. This year, neither the Milwaukee Bucks nor the Minnesota Timberwolves will have their coaching staffs involved, as they coached last year. Each head coach will manage a team in the tournament, with one assistant from each staff taking charge of the remaining two teams.

The prize pool for the All-Star Game totals $1.8 million, with each player on the winning team earning $125,000. The runners-up will receive $50,000 each, while players from the semifinalist teams will take home $25,000.
