The NBA has announced the full rosters for this season’s All-Star game after releasing the players named to the 2024 reserves.
Starters for the All-Star teams had been previously released before the star-studded group of reserves was made official.
The starting lineup for the game, which is decided by fan votes, has always led to ample amounts of discussion about whether or not certain players are truly deserving of featuring in the game.
NBA legend Charles Barkley led one of the loudest cries when he claimed New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson was snubbed for Milwaukee Bucks PG Damian Lillard.
However, after missing out on a starting place, Brunson was one of the several big-name players selected for the All-Star reserves, along with the likes of Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Devin Booker and more.

The reserves announced for the Eastern Conference were Brunson, Knicks power forward Julius Randle, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell, Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown, Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo, Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey and Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero.
Starters for the East who were previously announced were 76ers center Joel Embiid, Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, Indiana Pacers PG Tyrese Haliburton, Lillard, and team captain Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Embiid was recently diagnosed with a meniscus injury while Randle is said to have just begun rehabbing a dislocated shoulder and both may go on to miss the game due to their injuries.
The reserves for the Western Conference were Curry, Davis, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns, Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard, and Clippers forward Paul George.
Starters for the West were Oklahoma City Thunder Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic, Suns Kevin Durant, and team captain LeBron James.
