The NBA All-Star Game format will look different this season, but one thing is always the same. There is a debate to be had about which players deserve

The West Orange, N.J. native and former St. Patrick High School star was left off the list of reserves despite a brilliant season in which he’s averaging 24.2 points, 4.9 assists and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 48% from the field and 42% from deep.

The full rosters for this year’s NBA All-Star Game were unveiled on Thursday evening, as the reserves were added to the Eastern and Western Conference rosters. It’s hard to believe that the 2025 NBA All-Star Game is almost here, but Feb. 16’s marquee event is right around the corner.

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game reserves will be revealed during TNT’s pregame show on Thursday (6:30 ET). Following the All-Star reserves announcement, TNT will air a doubleheader featuring Hawks vs. Cavaliers (7 ET) and Rockets vs. Grizzlies (9:30 ET).

Among those to make the cut are first-timer Victor Wembanyama and 21st-timer LeBron James. Six teams had multiple selections, while only two teams above .500 — the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings — had none. The game is once again stacked with recognizable talent, but there were plenty more players beyond the 24 players selected.

Joining Wembanyama as a West reserve are Jaren Jackson Jr., Jalen Williams, Anthony Edwards, Anthony Davis, James Harden and Alperen Şengün. The seven reserves from the East are Jaylen Brown, Pascal Siakam, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, Cade Cunningham, Damian Lillard and Tyler Herro, as selected by the conference’s coaches.
