Postseason showcase to be played April 1 in Brooklyn.

The McDonald's All America Game is coming to Brooklyn for the first time and returns to the state of New York for the first time since 2002 as the best high school basketball players from around the country meet April 1 for the 48th annual event. On Monday, the 24-player roster was announced on NBA Today.

MaxPreps Top 25 No. 1 Columbus (Miami, Fla.), National Top 10 No. 5 Prolific Prep (Napa, Calif.) and La Lumiere (La Porte, Ind.) each had two players selected.

Cameron and Cayden Boozer were selected from Columbus, Niko Bundalo and Darryn Peterson were selected from Prolific Prep and Darius Adams along with Jalen Haralson made the cut La Lumiere.

Connecticut and Duke each have three future stars playing in the contest while Arkansas and Houston have two players apiece in the showcase.



California (6) and Florida (5) make up nearly half of the selections in this year's game, while Indiana (3) and Utah (2) were the only other states to feature multiple players.

Notably, this year's game will also snap a streak of seven-straight years with a McDonald's All American selection for Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.). Prolific Prep now has the longest streak with a player selected in six consecutive years dating back to 2020.

The 2025 McDonald's All American girls game airs on ESPN2 at 6:30 p.m. ET on April 1 with the boys game following at 9 p.m. Both games will be played at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
