In the Eastern Conference, Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball wasn’t included among the reserves. Ball has averaged a career-high 28.2 points per game this season and received the most fan votes among all East guards.

Fans were surprised that he wasn’t included.

LaMelo Ball averages more PPG + RPG + APG than every single Eastern Conference All-Star reserve.

I’m baffled LaMelo Ball didn’t make the All-Star team, but Tyler Herro absolutely deserved a spot on that roster.
He earned that.

Mike Conti @MikeConti929

Trae Young doesn’t need my help to arbitrate his case to make the All Star Game.
I just don’t understand how FOUR players who finished below him in the fan/player/media vote were selected over him.
LaMelo Ball and Hornets fans should feel similarly disrespected.

LaMelo Ball not an All-star…

GoldenKnight @GoldenKnightGFX

LaMelo should clearly be an all star. This is actually stupid.

For the Western Conference, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker failed to make an All-Star appearance for just the second time since the start of the 2019-20 season. Booker averaged 25.5 points per game on 44.4/34.1/89.3 shooting splits.

2025 WEST ALL-STAR RESERVES:
⭐️ Anthony Edwards
⭐️ Anthony Davis
⭐️ James Harden
⭐️ Jaren Jackson Jr.
⭐️ Alperen Şengün
⭐️ Jalen Williams
⭐️ Victor Wembanyama pic.twitter.com/uomtSlaL39

Fans were similarly shocked that he wasn’t on the All-Star roster.

Devin Booker was not voted in as a reserve for this year’s NBA All-Star Game. Reserves were voted in by the league’s head coaches. Book is averaging 25.5 PPG, 6.7 APG and 4.0 RPG on 44.4 FG% and 34.1 3P%
Ant, AD, Harden, JJJ, Sengun, J-Dub and Wemby made the cut

DEVIN BOOKER ISNT A ALL STAR AM I SEEING THIS RIGHT???

Cameron Cox @CamCox12

Suns fans should riot. Devin Booker is one of the best players in the league… there’s zero reason he shouldn’t be on the All-Star.
Moving the goal post continues.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
