Doncic (hamstring) recorded two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two assists in five minutes in Team World's 37-35 overtime loss to Team Stars in a round-robin matchup during Sunday's NBA All-Star weekend in Los Angeles.

Though Doncic was cleared to play in the exhibition after missing the Lakers' final four games before the All-Star break due to a left hamstring strain, he was under a strict minutes limit and ended up sitting out Team World's other round-robin game, a 48-45 loss to Team Stripes. Assuming Doncic emerges from Sunday's action without any setbacks, he'll be back in action Friday for the Lakers' home game versus the Clippers. He could have his minutes monitored carefully in what would be his first appearance for the Lakers since Feb. 5.

Leonard went for 31 points (11-13 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two steals in 12 minutes during Team Stripes' 48-45 All-Star Game 3 win over Team World on Sunday.

Leonard put on a show in Game 3 of the All-Star Game tournament, as he connected on each of his first seven shots, including five from deep. Leonard concluded the game with 31 points, by far the highest individual scoring total across the four games. His standout performance was capped off with what ended up being a game-winning three-pointer as time wound down. In the team's other two games, Leonard struggled, logging just six total points. Still, his effort in Game 3 will be one to remember for All-Star Games to come. Outside the All-Star Game, Leonard has been on a tear of late, averaging 30.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.8 steals in 33.5 minutes per contest over his last four regular-season appearances.

Edwards was named the All-Star Game MVP on Sunday, finishing with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in eight minutes during Team Stars' 47-21 win over Team Stripes in the championship game.

Edwards was a consistent contributor across the team's three games, recording 32 points, nine rebounds, and three assists in 26 total minutes. His standout game came in Game 1, in which he logged 13 points and two rebounds. Much of his production in the game came down the stretch, including a three-pointer to send it to overtime and a clutch bucket in the first-to-five overtime. Edwards came into All-Star Weekend in below-average form by his standards, averaging 22.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 35.3 minutes per contest over his last three regular-season appearances, including a 14-point outing against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Wembanyama recorded 19 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds across 10 minutes in Team World's 48-45 loss to Team Stripes in Game 3 of the All-Star Game tournament.

Wembanyama led his team in scoring in the decisive Game 3, but his missed three-point attempt at the buzzer sealed the loss. Wembanyama stood out in the team's opening contest as well, logging team highs of 14 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and three blocks. The star center came into All-Star Weekend averaging 26.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.5 steals in 29.3 minutes per contest over his last six regular-season appearances.

Jones supplied eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across seven minutes in Team Red's 35-32 loss to Team Black in the G League Next Up Game semifinals Sunday.

Jones led his squad in points, rebounds and assists, albeit in a losing effort. A two-way player for the Knicks, the 2024 first-rounder is averaging 16.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 36.8 minutes per game across 29 G League outings between the Westchester Knicks and the Rip City Remix in 2025-26.

Beauchamp closed with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two assists and two rebounds across eight minutes during Team White's 37-25 win over Team Blue in the G League Next Up Game semifinals Sunday.

Beauchamp turned in an efficient game-high 14 points in the semifinals to lead his team to the championship game, when he provided eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) in nine minutes during a 31-29 loss to Team Black. The two-way player has appeared in just two outings for the 76ers this season, during which he has averaged 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 18.0 minutes per contest. Over 21 G League outings with the Delaware Blue Coats in 2025-26, the 2022 first-rounder has averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals in 37.2 minutes per contest.

Baldwin became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the 76ers expired.

Baldwin signed a 10-day pact with Philadelphia on Feb. 5 and appeared in one game with the club, grabbing one rebound in two minutes during Monday's loss to Portland. Unless the 76ers opt to retain him on a second 10-day deal or if he lands a roster spot with another NBA team, Baldwin will likely rejoin the G League's San Diego Clippers. Over 25 games with San Diego this season, Baldwin has averaged 21.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.6 steals in 33.6 minutes per game.

Avdija (back) will play for Team World on Sunday at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles.

Avdija missed Portland's win over the Jazz on Thursday due to injury management in the second leg of a back-to-back set, though he's set to make his first career All-Star appearance Sunday. Assuming he makes it through Sunday's exhibition without incident, Avdija should be good to go for the Trail Blazers' next game Friday versus the Nuggets.

Booker (ankle) will play for Team Stars on Sunday in the NBA's All-Star weekend event in Los Angeles.

Booker missed Phoenix's loss to the Thunder on Wednesday -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to right ankle injury management. However, the five-time All-Star isn't expected to face any limitations during Sunday's exhibition. Through 43 appearances with the Suns this season, Booker has averaged 25.2 points, 6.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 33.9 minutes per game.

Powell (back) will play for Team Wolrd in Sunday's All-Star Game, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Powell missed Miami's final two games before the All-Star break due to lower-back tightness, but he's progressed enough in his first recovery to make his first All-Star appearance Sunday. The veteran swingman is on pace for a career-best season, having averaged 23.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.9 treys, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 30.6 minutes per game across 45 appearances.
