Luka Doncic didn&#8217;t suit up against his former team as he missed his fourth consecutive game due to a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p>Doncic was seen working out before the contest, which would indicate that he is close to returning for the Lakers. Head coach JJ Redick even said that <a href=\"https:\/\/lakersnation.com\/lakers-injury-update-luka-doncic-should-be-good-to-go-after-all-star-break\/\" target=\"_blank\">Luka should be good to go once the team returns from the All-Star break<\/a>, but it was unclear what that would mean for the All-Star Game itself.<\/p>\n<p>Doncic <a href=\"https:\/\/lakersnation.com\/lakers-news-luka-doncic-grateful-to-be-leading-vote-getter-in-2026-nba-all-star-game\/\" target=\"_blank\">was the leading vote-getter amongst all players<\/a> and with the game being held in L.A. there will certainly be a large contingent of fans who would love to see him in action. And despite his recent injury, Doncic is expected to play in a limited capacity, per <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheSteinLine\/status\/2022404261402034366\" target=\"_blank\">NBA insider Marc Stein<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Lakers\u2019 Luka Don\u010di\u0107 is indeed on course to play for a short stint in Sunday\u2019s All-Star Game after a strong pregame workout Thursday, league sources tell <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheSteinLine?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TheSteinLine<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nUvNyyN8Gf\">pic.twitter.com\/nUvNyyN8Gf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheSteinLine\/status\/2022404261402034366?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 13, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>As Stein reported, it can be expected that while Doncic will suit up and play in the All-Star Game, his time on the court will be limited. A soft tissue injury like a hamstring strain Luka is dealing with is something that must be handled carefully and the Lakers have been extremely cautious in bringing him back. So there is no way Doncic or the team will risk his availability for the home stretch of the regular season by having him play too much in the All-Star Game.<\/p>\n<p>Luka making an appearance and getting a few minutes on the court for the World team should be more than enough and then he can continue to ramp himself up and be ready to go when the Lakers are back on the court and ready to make their push towards the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>This year will be the first time the All-Star Game will have a USA vs. the World format with the game itself taking place at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2026-nba-all-star-game-rosters\">2026 NBA All-Star Game rosters<\/h2>\n<p><strong>USA Stars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Scottie Barnes, Toronto Raptors<br \/>\nDevin Booker, Phoenix Suns<br \/>\nCade Cunningham, Detroit Pistons<br \/>\nJalen Duren, Detroit Pistons<br \/>\nAnthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves<br \/>\nChet Holmgren, Oklahoma City Thunder<br \/>\nJalen Johnson, Atlanta Hawks<br \/>\nTyrese Maxey, Philadelphia 76ers<\/p>\n<p><strong>USA Stripes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics<br \/>\nJalen Brunson, New York Knicks<br \/>\nKevin Durant, Houston Rockets<br \/>\nBrandon Ingram, Toronto Raptors<br \/>\nLeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers<br \/>\nKawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers<br \/>\nDonovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers<br \/>\nDe&#8217;Aaron Fox, San Antonio Spurs<br \/>\nStephen Curry, Golden State Warriors (Injured)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team World<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deni Avdija, Portland Trail Blazers<br \/>\nLuka Doncic, Los Angeles Lakers<br \/>\nNikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets<br \/>\nJamal Murray, Denver Nuggets<br \/>\nNorman Powell, Miami Heat<br \/>\nAlperen Sengun, Houston Rockets<br \/>\nPascal Siakam, Indiana Pacers<br \/>\nKarl-Anthony Towns, New York Knicks<br \/>\nVictor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs<br \/>\nShai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder (Injured)<br \/>\nGiannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks (Injured)<\/p>\n<p><em>If you love our reporting, <a href=https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=lakersnation.com  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">choose LakersNation.com as a preferred source on Google.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Lakers entered the All-Star break on a winning note as they took down the Dallas Mavericks 124-104.
