Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic will lead Team World at the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.
Rajakovic, from Serbia, is in his third season with the Raptors. At 30-21, Toronto entered Tuesday tied for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
The All-Star Game, scheduled for Feb. 15 in Inglewood, Calif., will feature a new format with two teams of U.S. players and one 'world' team made up of international players. They will play a round-robin tournament of 12-minute games, after which the teams with the best records will play for the championship.
The rosters will be revealed Tuesday night, with each team made up of eight players.
J.B. Bickerstaff of the Detroit Pistons and Mitch Johnson of the San Antonio Spurs already were named the head coaches for the teams of players from the United States.
Rajakovic, 46, previously was an assistant coach with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies, and he also was a head coach in the G League, in Spain and Serbia. He served as an assistant coach for Serbia at the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
The All-Star Game will be the 75th in NBA history.
