Jalen Brunson, who was born in New Brunswick and was snubbed as a starter last year, will start in the backcourt, while Piscataway native and former St. Joe’s-Metuchen big man Karl-Anthony Towns will start in the frontcourt. The game is set for Feb. 16 at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

You know how it goes. Every year fans vote on who they think the starters in the All-Star game should be. That fan vote accounts for 50 percent of the tally. Another 25 percent goes to the players and the final 25 percent goes to media. The NBA adds all that together and brings you the All-Star game starting rosters.

Anthony Towns were both named starters in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game on Thursday night as representatives of the New York Knicks, the Eastern Conference's No. 3 seeded team boasting a 29-16 record.Both Brunson and Towns have been posting incredible averages that could eventually lead to either being in the running for MVP honors,
