Daigneault has established himself as one of NBA's best head coaches a couple weeks shy of his 40th birthday. How did he get here?

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault and assistant Dave Bliss will coach two of the four All-Star squads in the ambitious four-team tournament that replaced the traditional All-Star Game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams are All-Star players this season on opposite squads.

Daigneault and Chuck's Global Stars will face off against Thunder assistant Dave Bliss and Kenny's Young Stars.

Alexander, just being a part of the NBA All-Star Game is a privilege, regardless of how often it happens. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard acknowledged as much ahead of his third consecutive All-Star nod in 2025.
