With the 2025 NBA All-Star starters already announced last week, the seven reserves for each conference were revealed on Thursday night. Reminder, this year’s All-Star Game is not a traditional format. It’s four teams of eight (24 All-Stars split evenly and the winning team of the Rising Stars game) playing basically a bracketed tournament. As such, this is the 24-player pool (starters and reserves) from which those eight-players teams will be drawn. The starters were determined by a combination of votes from fans, media and players, while the reserves were selected by the coaches.

This is absolute highway robbery for Sabonis from the Sacramento Kings, who leads the league with 42 double-doubles. He is averaging 21 points on 61% shooting and leading the NBA with 15 rebounds per game. Leaving Sabonis out is ridiculous. 🏀 If you want to see who else got snubbed, keep reading.
