The 24 players will get drafted into three teams of eight on Feb. 6 by Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley. They’ll play in a new tournament style for the All-Star Game, which will have a fourth team from the winners of the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday night before. These were the reserve selections:

Joining Wembanyama as a West reserve are Jaren Jackson Jr., Jalen Williams, Anthony Edwards, Anthony Davis, James Harden and Alperen Şengün. The seven reserves from the East are Jaylen Brown, Pascal Siakam, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, Cade Cunningham, Damian Lillard and Tyler Herro, as selected by the conference’s coaches.

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