Anthony Edwards Joins Team Kenny for a Revolutionary 2025 NBA All-Star Game
For the third time in his career, Anthony Edwards is headed to the NBA All-Star Game, but this year, it’s going to look a little different.
Gone are the traditional East vs. West matchups. Instead, Edwards will be suiting up for Team Kenny in a completely revamped format that promises to bring more excitement and competition to the All-Star festivities.
This year’s NBA All-Star Game will feature a four-team mini-tournament, replacing the usual conference-based format. Three teams were drafted by basketball legends Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal, and Charles Barkley on TNT’s Inside the NBA. The fourth team, Team Candace, will earn its spot by winning the Castrol Rising Stars Challenge.
