NBA All-Star draft for the 2022-23 season: What are the changes?
One of the biggest changes that we will see this year is in the draft. Previously, for the last 3 editions, the draft was held on NBA on TNT. It took place in a live broadcast where the team captains had to pick their players from the pool of All-Stars.
However, for this season, it will be done as a live segment right before tip-off. And the playground feel of choosing your team right before tip-off is sure to make fans and players excited.
Who are the 2023 All-Star starters?
After many rounds of voting, and an aggregation of fan, media, and player votes, the NBA All-Star starters for the 2022-23 season have been announced.
Leading the line are captains, LeBron James, and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Joining them are, Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, and Zion Williamson from the Western Conference. And from the Eastern Conference, Kyrie Irving, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum, and Kevin Durant will be the starters.
The reserves will be announced on February 2nd.
