Despite battling through a wave of injuries, the Oklahoma City Thunder are making their presence felt on the league’s biggest stage: the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend. Two of OKC’s brightest stars - Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - were selected to participate in the All-Star Game, a testament to the Thunder’s rise and the individual brilliance both players have shown this season.
Holmgren, the versatile 7-footer who’s been turning heads with his two-way play, will suit up for the USA Stars squad. Gilgeous-Alexander, meanwhile, was named to the World team, though fans will have to wait a bit longer to see him back in action - he’s sidelined for the weekend due to injury. It’s an unfortunate blow, but it doesn’t take away from the season he’s having - one that’s placed him firmly in the MVP conversation.
This year’s All-Star format brings a fresh twist. For the first time, the NBA is rolling out a U.S. vs.
World setup, featuring three teams - USA Stars, USA Stripes, and World - competing in a round-robin tournament. It’s a new look for the midseason showcase, and it’s set to unfold over the course of a traditional four-quarter game.
