Here are the four biggest NBA All-Star Game snubs

Trae Young

In back-to-back seasons, Young has not been selected as a reserve despite having one of the best seasons of his career. 

Young was not selected despite averaging 20-plus points and 10-plus assists. He was the first person to average those stats and not make the All-Star Game since himself in 2023.

That's two seasons now in his career in which he has averaged a double-double and not been selected as a reserve. Young voiced his opinion on X shortly after the rosters were announced.

Norman Powell

Powell has been a career role player off the bench until this season, and he has made the most of it.

Powell is averaging a career-high 24 points per game, a full 10-point increase of his 13.9 points per game average last season. Powell leads the Clippers in scoring and is in third on the team in steals per game (1.4).

It is unfortunate to see someone like Powell, who has constantly put in the work, not be rewarded during a career season.

Domantas Sabonis

Sabonis may be the biggest snub of all. He leads the NBA in rebounding (14.5 per game) and double-doubles. Sacramento has played 44 games, and Sabonis has a double-double in a whopping 42 of them.

Along with leading the league in those two categories, Sabonis is 14th in the NBA in assists (6.6) and is averaging a career high 20.9 points per game. 

Rockets center Alperen Sengun averages less than Sabonis in all of those categories. Yet, he was still chosen to the All-Star Game instead of Sabonis.

There are certainly other players like Tyrese Maxey, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving who could be considered snubs, but the four players listed above were the most deserving of a spot on the All-Star Game roster.
