<P> LeBron James and Stephen Curry were named as captains due to being the leading vote getter from the East and West , respectively . James had the first pick in the draft as the leading vote getter overall , while Curry has first choice of jersey color , due to the Western Conference having home team status for the game . The draft pool consisted of the eight other starters , with no regard to conference designation , and 14 reserves ( seven from each conference ) , chosen by NBA head coaches . On January 25 , 2018 , LeBron James and Stephen Curry created their rosters via a draft , which would not be televised for various reasons . NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will select the replacement for any player unable to participate in the All - Star Game , choosing a player from the same conference as the player who is being replaced . Silver 's selection would join the team that drafted the replaced player . If a replaced player is a starter , the head coach of that team will choose a new starter from his cast of players instead . </P>
