Steph Curry is heading back to the All-Star Game for the 12th time in his career — and this time, he joins some elite company along the way.

The Warriors star was named a starter for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, set for February 15 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood. It marks Curry’s 12th All-Star selection and 11th start, numbers that now sit alone at the top of Golden State’s record books.

That dozen appearances also place him in elite company.

Curry is now level with Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan and Bill Russell for total All-Star nods with one franchise.

Curry will line up alongside Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama as the Western Conference starters. The East’s starting group features Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown.

This year’s All-Star Game won’t follow the traditional East vs West format. Instead, it will be a three-team round-robin tournament, with 12-minute mini-games and the top two sides advancing to a final.

Curry is no stranger to shining on this stage. Last season at Chase Center, he walked away with the Kobe Bryant All-Star MVP Award.

At nearly 38, Curry is averaging 27.6 points, 4.9 assists and 3.8 rebounds, sits second in the league in made threes, and is knocking down 93.1% of his free throws.

He’s already dropped 40 or more points four times this season, breaking Michael Jordan’s record for most 40-point games after turning 30.

He’s also closing in on more milestones. Curry recently passed Kevin Garnett on the all-time scoring list, is about to crack the top 20, and is just 25 three-point attempts away from becoming the first player to take 10,000 threes in NBA history.

Add in an 82-game streak with at least one made three, and a new father-son games-played record alongside Dell Curry, and it’s clear: Steph’s resume is still growing.

The Warriors, meanwhile, are 24–19, winners of five of their last six — and Curry remains right at the center of it all.
