Star reserves were unveiled Thursday night on TNT’s Inside the NBA and officially confirmed by the league shortly after. A total of 14 players will join the 10 starters in San Francisco on February 16.
On Thursday, Darius Garland, Cade Cunningham, Damian Lillard and Tyler Herro were named the four Eastern Conference guard reserves. Instantly, fans and analysts alike were critical of the coaches for snubbing Young. The Hawks guard himself expressed his displeasure.

Atlanta looks to stop its six-game skid with a victory against Cleveland. The teams match up Thursday for the first time this season.
ATLANTA — Atlanta Hawks Trae Young has come up with a new word that’s very familiar to his lack of being named an NBA All-Star. “It’s no longer getting “snubbed” it’s getting “Traed” at this point,” Young posted on X.
All Hawks star Trae Young could do was express his frustration regarding yet another snub from the All-Star Game roster.
Among those to make the cut are first-timer Victor Wembanyama and 21st-timer LeBron James. Six teams had multiple selections, while only two teams above .500 — the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings — had none. The game is once again stacked with recognizable talent, but there were plenty more players beyond the 24 players selected.
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.
Despite already making three NBA All-Star teams in his career, Trae Young is feeling slighted that he didn’t make the cut again this year. On Thursday, the NBA officially announced the reserves (selected by the league’s head coaches) for the 2025 All-Star Game.
Six years into his NBA career, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro can finally call himself an All-Star. The 25-year-old officially received the nomination on Thursday once Ernie Johnson announced him as an Eastern Conference reserve.
