With starters and the reserves pool already unveiled, commissioner Adam Silver added Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki and Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade to the 2019 NBA All-Star Game as special roster additions.
“Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade embody the best of the NBA: remarkable skill, drive and professionalism as well as a deep devotion to strengthening their communities and growing the game around the world,” Silver said.
“As a global celebration of basketball, our All-Star Game is an ideal setting to salute these first-class NBA champions and Finals MVPs.”
Nowitzki and Wade will be selected in a new third round of the 2019 NBA All-Star Draft, adding a 13th active player to each roster.
