Victor Wembanyama (Spurs) Anthony Davis (Lakers) Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves) James Harden (Clippers) Jaren Jackson Jr. (Grizzlies) Alperen Sengun (Rockets) Jalen Williams (Thunder)

Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others: Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998.

Among the top candidates who weren’t named to the All-Star Game are Cleveland’s Jarrett Allen, Atlanta’s Trae Young, Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball, Miami’s Bam Adebayo, Chicago’s Zach LaVine, Sacramento’s De’Aaron Fox, Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis, Phoenix’s Devin Booker and Dallas’ Kyrie Irving.

The Knicks will have two representatives in the starting lineup during the NBA All-Star Game on Feb 16. in San Francisco, Calif.

Adam Silver, Mark Tatum, Joe Dumars from the NBA. Plus: Oscar Robertson, Jalen Rose, Tony Parker, Pau Gasol, Sabrina Ionescu, Ja’Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, Tee Higgins, Kyler Murray, Travis Scott, A’ja Wilson,

So some like Alperen Sengun, Domantas Sabonis and Jaren Jackson might get reserve spots. But the real tough decision is measuring Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Anthony Davis against Victor Wembanyama. I’ll go with Durant and LeBron this time — and assume the other two will be in the game.

Brown and company will be joined by the East starters in Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, Donovan Mitchell of the Cavs, Karl-Anthony Towns of the New York Knicks, and Knicks teammate Jalen Brunson.

At this point, there is no Victor Wembanyama in this season's NBA rookie class. There is no Paolo Banchero. And there's no Luka Doncic, Ja Morant, Karl-Anthony Towns, Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving, Blake Griffin,

NBA All-Star rosters have been set. After last week's announcement of the 10 starters, Thursday brought us the 14 final selections, who will be classified as reserves at All-Star Weekend in San Francisco in February.

The NBA announced its 2025 All-Star reserves on Thursday. The Oklahoma City Thunder will have two representatives at the star-studded weekend as Jalen Williams was named a first-time All-Star player.

For the fourth time in his NBA career, Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown has been named as an All-Star for the Eastern Conference.
