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.

You know how it goes. Every year fans vote on who they think the starters in the All-Star game should be. That fan vote accounts for 50 percent of the tally. Another 25 percent goes to the players and the final 25 percent goes to media. The NBA adds all that together and brings you the All-Star game starting rosters.

The New York Knicks incredible duo made franchise history after being voted to start in the 2025 All-Star Game.

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.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 25 points and 16 rebounds, Jalen Brunson scored eight points down the stretch and finished with 17 as the New York Knicks beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-95.
