The other West All-Star reserves are Anthony Edwards, Anthony Davis, James Harden, Jaren Jackson Jr., Alperen Sengun and Victor Wembanyama. The East All-Star reserves are Jaylen Brown, Pascal Siakam, Darius Garland, Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, Damian Lillard and Tyler Herro.

The 2025 All-Star game will happen on Sunday, Feb. 16 at Golden State. This year’s contest will go away from the traditional East vs. West format and will be an ambitious four-team tournament filled with three All-Star player squads and one Rising Stars squad. The semifinals and finals will be decided by who scores 40 points first.
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault and an OKC assistant will coach two of the four squads. Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson and a Cleveland assistant are the other two coaches.
