The versatile guard is named to the Western Conference reserves; teammate Norman Powell is not despite averaging a team-best 24 points per game.

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.

Powell prognosticated before the season started that other players could step up and fill the void left by Paul George. He backed that up by turning into one of the league's premier tough shot-makers. He's hit a scorching 43.5 percent of his 3's this year and come up with some huge buckets to help them to their No. 6 standing in the West.

The 2025 NBA All-Star reserves were revealed on Thursday night on TNT’s Inside the NBA and later officially announced by the league ( Twitter links ). 14 players will join the 10 starters announced last week in the All-Star Game in San Francisco on Feb. 16. All-Star reserves were selected by the league’s head coaches.

Jaylen Brown joined Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum as an Eastern Conference All-Star on Thursday night with the wing selected as a reserve by NBA coaches. It is the fourth All-Star selection for Brown over the last five seasons.

For the first time, and almost certainly not the last, Victor Wembanyama is an All-Star. The Spurs center was among the members of the Western Conference reserve squad as voted on by NBA coaches and announced Thursday afternoon.
