The NBA has announced the list of Eastern and Western Conference All-Star reserves and there are some big names on the sheet.
The NBA head coaches have to pick two guards, three frontcourt players and two "wild card" players at any position for the reserves. The West All-Stars have five frontcourt reserves in Davis, Jackson Jr., Sengun, Wembanyama and Jalen Williams.
