The reserves for the NBA All-Star Game have been announced and another Philadelphia 76ers player will be joining Joel Embiid, who was voted in as a starter. Ben Simmons will be a first time All-Star.
While the starters are picked by a mixture of fans, media and players, it is the NBA coaches solely who select the rest of the all-star teams (There is no longer an East vs. West format, leading vote-getters LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo will select their own respective teams on Feb. 7).
However, for the first time in five years, Jimmy Butler was not voted to play in the All-Star Game.
