The player pool for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game is now complete following the announcement of the 14 reserves on TNT. These players, selected by NBA head coaches, will join the 10 previously announced starters for a groundbreaking four-team, three-game mini-tournament at Chase Center in San Francisco on Sunday, Feb. 16, tipping off at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.
Six first-time All-Stars highlight this year’s reserves: Victor Wembanyama (SAS), Jalen Williams (OKC), Alperen Sengun (HOU), Tyler Herro (MIA), Evan Mobley (CLE), and Cade Cunningham (DET). Meanwhile, seasoned veterans such as LeBron James (21 selections), Kevin Durant (15), Steph Curry (11), James Harden (11), and Anthony Davis (10) bring experience to the Western Conference roster.
The East is led by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, who each earned their ninth All-Star selection. Five All-Star duos are featured in the field, including LeBron & AD (LAL), Giannis & Dame (MIL), SGA & JDub (OKC), KAT & Jalen Brunson (NYK), and Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown (BOS). The Cleveland Cavaliers, owners of the league’s best record, are the only team with three All-Stars: Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and Donovan Mitchell.
The NBA All-Star Draft takes place next Thursday at 6:30 p.m. ET on TNT, with Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith serving as GMs to select rosters from the 24 All-Stars. They will compete against Team Candace, the Castrol Rising Stars champion, in a single-elimination tournament, with the final two squads battling for the championship.
