The Denver Nuggets are being represented in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game by two players for the first time since Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups were selected together in 2010. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray will be teaming up to represent Team World in the new round-robin tournament format of the All-Star Game.

Why it matters

Jokic and Murray have emerged as one of the league's best duos, with Jokic winning three MVP awards in the last five years and Murray cementing himself as a top point guard. Their All-Star selection marks the first time the Nuggets have had two representatives since the Anthony-Billups pairing in 2010.

Jokic, the best player in the world, is making his eighth career All-Star appearance, averaging 28.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 10.7 assists per game.
