The NBA released the reserves for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game on Thursday evening. For the first time since his rookie season, Luka Doncic is not an All-Star. Neither is Kyrie Irving, who misses out on the All-Star Game for the second straight season.

In a recent interview, Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving reflects on his snub from the 2025 NBA All-Star Game.

Mark Cuban is not thrilled with the rosters for the upcoming 2025 NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco. For the first time since the 2017-18 season, the Dallas Mavericks aren't sending a single player to the league's All-Star showcase,
