The NBA All-Star reserves were announced Thursday, and each conference’s roster is loaded with superstar players.
After being overlooked as starters initially, Boston Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas and the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Russell Westbrook finally received the recognition they deserved, as both were named All-Stars. It will be Thomas’ second trip to the All-Star game, while Westbrook was selected for the sixth time in his career.
Also among the reserves will be three players making their first All-Star Game appearance, as Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward and Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker all will be suiting up on Feb. 19 in New Orleans.
