Stephen Curry out of All-Star Game: here is who will take his spot

Following Stephen Curry's withdrawal from the 2026 NBA All-Star Game due to a knee injury, Commissioner Adam Silver has selected a replacement. Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram will officially take the Warriors star's roster spot, having finished as the tenth vote-getter in the Eastern Conference. Consequently, Ingram becomes the second Toronto player selected for the starry night alongside Scottie Barnes.

The Canadian team is heavily represented, sending head coach Darko Rajakovic and rookie Collin Murray-Boyles also. This marks Ingram’s second career All-Star selection, his first coming during the 2019-20 season representing the New Orleans Pelicans. Currently in his debut season with Toronto, the forward is averaging 22 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 34 minutes, shooting 36% from deep. His inclusion rewards a solid individual campaign and completes a significant Raptors quartet for the upcoming festivities.
