Jaylen Brown, Anthony Edwards headline 2025 NBA All-Star reserves

The 2025 NBA All-Star reserves were revealed on Thursday night on TNT’s Inside the NBA and later officially announced by the league. Fourteen players will join the 10 starters announced last week in the All-Star Game in San Francisco on Feb. 16. The league’s head coaches selected the All-Star reserves.

Eastern Conference reserves:

• Guard: Jaylen Brown, Celtics
• Guard: Cade Cunningham, Pistons
• Guard: Damian Lillard, Bucks
• Guard: Darius Garland, Cavaliers
• Guard: Tyler Herro, Heat
• Frontcourt: Evan Mobley, Cavaliers
• Frontcourt: Pascal Siakam, Pacers

The East features three first-time All-Stars in Cunningham, Herro and Mobley. The guard spots in the East were highly contentious, with Atlanta’s Trae Young, Chicago’s Zach LaVine, Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball and Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey among those in the running. Ball finished first in fan voting, but that had no bearing on the coach’s decisions.

The Cavaliers are well-represented in San Francisco, with Donovan Mitchell named a starter last week with Garland and Mobley now joining him. This is Garland’s second All-Star nod after being named in the 2021-22 season. Jarrett Allen also had a good shot at a spot, but ultimately wasn’t voted in.

This is Jaylen Brown‘s fourth All-Star appearance, Lillard’s ninth, and Siakam’s third.

Western Conference reserves:

• Guard: Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves
• Guard: James Harden, Clippers
• Frontcourt: Anthony Davis, Lakers
• Frontcourt: Jaren Jackson Jr., Grizzlies
• Frontcourt: Alperen Sengun, Rockets
• Frontcourt: Jalen Williams, Thunder
• Frontcourt: Victor Wembanyama, Spurs

All of Wembanyama, Sengun and Williams are first-time All-Stars. Last year’s Rookie of the Year, Wembanyama’s taken several steps forward to help the Spurs to a 20-24 record, putting them in contention for a Play-In spot. Meanwhile, Sengun and Williams both have their teams near the top of the Western Conference.

Edwards, in his third overall and consecutive appearance, is having a career year from beyond the arc, connecting on 41.8% of his 9.8 three-point attempts. We wrote earlier about how the Grizzlies viewed Jackson as a bonafide star amid their 31-16 record this season.

Veterans Harden and Davis round out the West reserves. Harden, the most decorated reserve, is making his 11th appearance in the game while averaging 21.7 points and 8.4 assists in his age-35 season. Davis continues to be one of the premier defensive players in the league en route to earning his 10th All-Star nod. Davis is currently injured and out at least one week, but it’s unclear if that would affect his availability for the All-Star Game that’s more than two weeks out.

Fresh off making the NBA Finals last season, the Mavericks won’t have a representative in the All-Star Game, with Luka Doncic injured and Kyrie Irving not earning a spot. The Kings’ Domantas Sabonis, the Clippers’ Norman Powell, the Suns’ Devin Booker and the Kings’ De’Aaron Fox were among those who were not named to the team.
