Jalen Brunson, who was born in New Brunswick and was snubbed as a starter last year, will start in the backcourt, while Piscataway native and former St. Joe’s-Metuchen big man Karl-Anthony Towns will start in the frontcourt. The game is set for Feb. 16 at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Anthony Towns were both named starters in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game on Thursday night as representatives of the New York Knicks, the Eastern Conference's No. 3 seeded team boasting a 29-16 record.Both Brunson and Towns have been posting incredible averages that could eventually lead to either being in the running for MVP honors,

New York has complained about calls not going their way all year. They still have managed to play through it, but it will be interesting to see if the league takes to heart what Thibodeau has been saying. Or better yet, if the league will even look to change.
