On January 30, the NBA announced the reserves for the 2020 NBA All-Star Game. Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz were two of the players selected as reserves from the Western Conference. This is both players’ first time as All-Star choices.
Gobert and Mitchell’s nominations make it so that in the Jazz’s 46-year-old history, they’ve had 45 selections sent to the All-Star game. In 14 of those games, at least two Jazz players were invited, the first being in 1978 when then-New Orleans Jazz stars Pete Maravich and Truck Robinson represented the franchise in Atlanta.
