Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram has been named as the replacement for injured Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry for this weekend's NBA All-Star Game in Inglewood, California. The 10-year veteran will join the USA Stripes roster for his second All-Star appearance, having previously earned the honor in 2020 with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Ingram, who signed a three-year, $120 million extension with the Raptors in February 2025, is averaging 22.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists this season. The former Most Improved Player of the Year has credited his move to Toronto for expanding his game, particularly on defense. "It's expanded my game more, especially on the defensive end," Ingram said, according to Sportsnet.

Curry has missed his fourth consecutive game with a lingering issue known as runner's knee. The Warriors hope he'll return after the All-Star break on February 19 against the Boston Celtics. The 75th NBA All-Star Game will take place Sunday at Intuit Dome, featuring the league's top talents in the new format.
