The reserves for the 2025 All-Star game have been announced and NBA fans are not happy with some of the results.
The full Eastern and Western Conference teams can be found below.
Seven players were named in each conference: two guards, three frontcourt players and two additional players at any position.
East🔸 Jaylen Brown🔸 Pascal Siakam🔸 Darius Garland🔸 Cade Cunningham🔸 Evan Mobley🔸 Damian Lillard🔸 Tyler Herro
West🔸 Anthony Edwards🔸 Anthony Davis🔸 James Harden🔸 Jaren Jackson Jr.🔸 Alperen Şengün🔸 Jalen Williams🔸 Victor Wembanyama
If you are wondering who selects the reserves, it’s the league’s head coaches.
The NBA’s 30 head coaches vote for NBA All-Star reserves, but they cannot vote for players from their own team.
So, it looks like coaches really don’t like LaMelo Ball and Trae Young.
LaMelo Ball LED All-Star East fan voting in the first, second and third returns. He was also third in player voting and ranked seventh in media voting, so not have him in the team AT ALL is seriously wild.
While Trae has been a constant snub in the All-Star event, outside of the three times he actually made the team.
Trae “Not An All-Star” Young this season:22.7 PTS, 11.4 AST (league leader)
43 PTS, 6 3PT, 5 AST38 PTS, 10 AST, 8 REB, 4 STL35 PTS, 15 AST35 PTS, 13 AST, 6 3PT34 PTS, 10 AST, 7 3PT31 PTS, 20 AST24 PTS, 20 AST20 PTS, 22 AST
NBA fans on X are not happy about their omissions.
LaMelo Ball averages more PPG + RPG + APG than every single Eastern Conference All-Star reserve.

LaMelo got 350,000 more votes than second place among guards.
When was the last time a player led their position in all-star voting and didn’t even make the team? pic.twitter.com/rawRT712Qt

Some people also argued that Norman Powell and Ivica Zubac were snubbed from the Western Team, as they have been playing very well.
