NBA announces All-Star reserves, with Spurs Sensation Victor Wembanyama, who makes team for the 1st time

The 2025 NBA All-Star reserves were announced on Thursday, with San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama serving the first of what is expected to be a large number of all-star-duties.

The second year’s superstar was the Rookie of the year last season, led the league in blocks and was the first rookie to be named the all-defensive first team. This season, his numbers are even better and has him on track for a defensive player of the year.

The reserves are participating in the starters announced last week at the All-Star game at the Chase Center in San Francisco on February 16. Starters were selected via a vote of fans, players and media. The reserves announced on Thursday were selected from the remaining players of coaches from their respective conferences.

The fourth team will be the winning team from Rising Stars Challenge-AS has shown AA similar three-game tournament for three years.
