Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen was not voted a starter, but has a great chance to get into the All-Star Game as a reserve, which is voted on by NBA head coaches and will be announced on Feb. 2.
James and Antetokounmpo will be the captains and will select their teams 30 minutes before tip-off in a new All-Star draft format.
The jerseys for the 2023 All-Star game were also revealed on TNT.
The two All-Star jerseys are a red, orange and yellow gradient jersey, which is reminiscent of Utah’s Southern Utah city edition uniforms, and a blue and black gradient jersey.
