NBA All-Star reserves were revealed on Thursday night, which also resulted in a few perceived snubs from fans. In the Eastern Conference,
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young couldn't hide his disappointment after getting snubbed from the NBA All-Star game for the third season in a row.

Devin Booker minced no words after becoming one of the marquee snubs for the NBA All-Star 2025 weekend. The Phoenix Suns guard called out the NBA labeling it "political" after his omission.

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.
Victor Wembanyama is one of the league's very best players. The San Antonio star and reigning rookie of the year is an All-Star for the first time, one of the 14 players announced Thursday night as members of the reserve pool for the Feb.
