"The 28-year-old will play for the "USA Stripes" team in his second All-Star game, meaning he'll square off against teammate Scottie Barnes, who's on the "Stars" squad. The U.S. All-Stars were assigned based on age, with the older players being placed on Stripes and the younger cohort placed on Stars. This could potentially drum up additional competitiveness, adding a young vs. old factor on top of the U.S. vs. World contention."
"Ingram is averaging 22 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists this season, and has held up well on defence. He's used his long, slender frame to post a career-high block rate and grab a ton of contested rebounds, which has been particularly helpful during the absence of starting centre Jakob Poeltl. Efficiency wise, Ingram has 47/36/84 shooting splits with 57 percent true shooting, slightly under this season's league average of 58 percent."
Brandon Ingram was named an injury replacement for Stephen Curry and will play for USA Stripes at the 2026 NBA All-Star Game in Inglewood. He will face teammate Scottie Barnes, who is on the Stars roster, after U.S. squads were split by age into Stripes (older) and Stars (younger). Toronto head coach Darko Rajaković was named head coach of Team World. The event uses a three-team mini round-robin format with the two winners meeting in a final. Ingram averages 22 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists with 47/36/84 shooting splits and 57 percent true shooting.
