    The 2025 NBA All-Star reserves were announced Thursday, with the San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama earning the first of what is expected to be a long line of All-Star honors.

    The second-year superstar was the Rookie of the Year last season, led the league in blocks and was the first rookie to be named to the All-Defensive First Team. This season, his numbers are even better and have him on track for a Defensive Player of the Year award.

    The reserves will join the starters who were announced last week at the All-Star Game in the Chase Center in San Francisco on Feb. 16. Starters were chosen via a vote of fans, players and media. The reserves announced Thursday were selected from the remaining players by coaches from their respective conferences.
