Named a Western Conference reserve, Victor Wembanyama is the San Antonio Spurs' first All-Star representative since 2022.

Jaylen Brown was announced Thursday as one of the seven All-Star reserves from the Eastern Conference. It was the third straight All-Star nod and fourth in the last five years for Brown, who will join East starter Jayson Tatum at the midseason showcase in San Francisco on Feb. 16.

The 7-foot-3 generational talent will be joined by fellow first-timers Alperen Sengun of the Houston Rockets and Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the West, as well as East new faces Evan Mobley from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cade Cunningham from the Detroit Pistons, and Tyler Herro from the Miami Heat.

Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others are Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998

A pair of the NBA's top players will be going head to head when Jayson Tatum (26.7 points per game, sixth in league) and the Boston Celtics (33-15) welcome in Victor Wembanyama (24.4, 15th) and the San Antonio Spurs (20-24) on Wednesday, February 12, 2025 at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN, NBCS-BOS, and CWSA.
