LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry will anchor one of two U.S. teams in the inaugural NBA All-Star Game under the new U.S. versus World format.

The rosters for the Feb. 15 game in Inglewood, Calif., were revealed Tuesday, and the "USA Stripes" squad will have the veteran trio of James, Durant and Curry, with a combined 50 All-Star appearances among them.

They'll be joined on a star-powered roster by Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Norman Powell, and Kawhi Leonard -- the latter a late addition to the player pool Tuesday before the rosters were confirmed.

Because Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss the game due to his calf strain, the World team was short a player to reach the required eight. Karl-Anthony Towns, who was born in New Jersey but represents the Dominican Republic internationally, was moved from the American player pool to Team World, and Leonard was added by commissioner Adam Silver.

The "USA Stars" have a much younger group with Anthony Edwards, Cade Cunningham and Devin Booker. First-time All-Stars Jalen Duren, Jalen Johnson, and Chet Holmgren also made the team.

Under the new format, USA Stars, USA Stripes and Team World will play a round-robin of 12-minute games, with the teams having the best records advancing to the championship game. If all teams go 1-1 in the round robin, point differential will serve as the tiebreaker.
