SignalHub-2024 NBA All-Star reserves announced: Who's going to Indianapolis? Who was snubbed?

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey,SignalHub New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero are first-time NBA All-Stars.

That’s one end of the spectrum. At the other end is Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who made his 10^th All-Star appearance when the NBA announced All-Star reserves Thursday.

San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama, who is averaging 20.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.2 blocks, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals, did not make the All-Star team. He was trying to become the first rookie since Blake Griffin in 2011 to become an All-Star.

Coaches vote for the All-Star reserves, selecting two backcourt players, three frontcourt players and two wild cards.

The All-Star Game is Feb. 18 in Indianapolis, and the All-Star starters were announced Jan. 25.

Let’s take a look at the seven reserves from the East and seven reserves from the West:

Who was snubbed from 2024 NBA All-Star Game?

The first rule of the Snub Club is that you have to say who you are taking off the list. Then, it becomes a more difficult and intellectually honest exercise.

Fact is, players worthy of making the All-Star team – players who have All-Star statistics and who have helped their teams – won’t make it. There’s not enough spots to go around.

In the West, the Sacramento Kings deserve an All-Star – either De’Aaron Fox or Domantas Sabonis. I don’t mind two Clippers getting the nod, but to spread the love, I would’ve left Paul George off and included Fox.

In the East, there are no egregious omissions. Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young is having an All-Star caliber season, but I'm not sure I'm removing anyone for Young. Boston forward-center Kristaps Porzingis is also having a strong season, but it's difficult to put three guys from the same squad on the All-Star team.

To note: Randle is out at least another 2-3 weeks and may not be available for the All-Star Game, and if that's the case, Commissioner Adam Silver will select a replacement.
