NBA Names East and West Reserves for 2025 All-Star Game

A week after naming the starters for the 2025 All-Star Game, the NBA revealed the reserves for the event on Thursday evening.
Here's a look at the 14 players who will "come off the bench" for both the East and the West:
Eastern Conference Reserves
Player | Team |
---|---|
Jaylen Brown | Boston Celtics |
Pascal Siakam | Indiana Pacers |
Darius Garland | Cleveland Cavaliers |
Cade Cunningham | Detroit Pistons |
Evan Mobley | Cleveland Cavaliers |
Damian Lillard | Milxwaukee Bucks |
Tyler Herro | Miami Heat |
Western Conference Reserves
Player | Team |
---|---|
Anthony Edwards | Minnesota Timberwolves |
Anthony Davis | Los Angeles Lakers |
James Harden | Los Angeles Clippers |
Jaren Jackson Jr. | Memphis Grizzlies |
Alperen Sengun | Houston Rockets |
Jalen Williams | Oklahoma City Thunder |
Victor Wembanyama | San Antonio Spurs |
The reason "coming off the bench" is in quotations is because this year, the All-Star Game's format has changed.
Instead of pinning the two conferences against one another or having two teams selected by captains, this year’s event will see four teams of eight players—three selected by Inside the NBA hosts Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal and the fourth coming from the winner of the Rising Stars game—play in an elimination-style tournament.
The NBA's 2025 All-Star Weekend will take place from Feb. 14–16, 2025 at San Francisco's Chase Center.
