The starting lineups for the 2024 All-Star Game were announced Thursday.

NBA All-Star weekend is quickly approaching as we’ve surpassed the halfway point of the 2023-24 season. 

On Thursday, the league announced the starting lineups for this year’s All-Star Game, which will be played under the classic Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference format.

The starting lineups are determined in part by the selection of fans, who make up 50% of the vote, as well as panels of current NBA players and media members, which account for 25% each. 

Starting for the East will be Milwaukee Bucks stars Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid, and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum.
