The 2024-25 NBA All-Star starters were announced on Thursday, and they were predictable selections with Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant -- the oldest of the old guard

Joining Wembanyama as a West reserve are Jaren Jackson Jr., Jalen Williams, Anthony Edwards, Anthony Davis, James Harden and Alperen Şengün. The seven reserves from the East are Jaylen Brown, Pascal Siakam, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, Cade Cunningham, Damian Lillard and Tyler Herro, as selected by the conference’s coaches.

The NBA has announced the list of Eastern and Western Conference All-Star reserves and there are some big names on the sheet.

Fame and experience ruled the day in the NBA all-star starters vote announced last week. The ballot’s three toughest calls went to the old guard: LeBron James outdrew Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant squeaked past Victor Wembanyama,

The Spurs' Victor Wembanyama and the Rockets' Alperen Sengun were among six first-timers named to the NBA All-Star Game on Thursday, when the league announced the reserves.

Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others: Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998.

With respect to Chris Paul, who has done an admirable job as a veteran leader, the Spurs don't have their point guard of the future on the roster right now. They need a young pick-and-roll scorer who can run the floor with Wembanyama. There aren't many available targets that fit better than the 27-year-old Fox.

Victor Wembanyama has been selected as a first-time NBA All-Star reserve, joining notable players for the Feb. 16 event in San Francisco.

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. 16 event in San Francisco.

The 7-foot-3 generational talent will be joined by fellow first-timers Alperen Sengun of the Houston Rockets and Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the West, as well as East new faces Evan Mobley from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cade Cunningham from the Detroit Pistons, and Tyler Herro from the Miami Heat.

San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama has been chosen for his first NBA All-Star Game as one of seven reserves from the Western Conference.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama and Boston guard Jaylen Brown were among 14 players named on Thursday as reserves for next month's NBA All-Star Game at San Francisco.
