The NBA All-Star Game will feature a new mini-tournament format in 2025 with Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith drafting all-star squads to join the Rising Stars game winner. Next year’s NBA All-Star Game will be staged on February 16 at Chase Center in San Francisco. The squad will be known as Team Candace for Women’s NBA legend Candace Parker, one of the four analysts from US telecaster TNT whose names will be given to the All-Star clubs -- the others being O’Neal, Smith and Barkley. The head coaches of the four NBA All-Star squads will come from the coaching staffs of the teams with the best record in the Eastern and Western conferences through February 2, two head coaches for All-Star teams and two assistants for the Rising Stars and the other All-Star lineup.
