One NBA executive joked about Suns owner Mat Ishbia having a new rule made for him with the Kevin Durant trade possibly backfiring.

The starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game have been announced, and some familiar faces lead the way. The announcement came on TNT’s Inside the NBA on Thursday night, before tipoff between the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat.

Kevin Durant is now a 15-time All-Star after being voted a starter for the West in the 2025 NBA All-Star game on Feb. 16.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant was named an NBA All-Star Game starter in the frontcourt for the Western Conference on Thursday.

A 26-19 record places the Clippers in sixth place in the Western Conference, behind the Thunder, Rockets, Grizzlies, Nuggets, and Lakers. The Suns rank eighth in the conference with a 23-21 record, one spot behind the Timberwolves and two behind the Clippers.

Tim Bontemps unveils his 24 picks for the East and West All-Star rosters, filled with new starters, wild-card intrigue and some agonizing decisions.

Even as the Golden State Warriors flounder, NBA trade rumors and predictions point to them being able to land a marquee player either before the Feb. 6 trade deadline or during the offseason.

The 76ers won’t have an NBA All-Star for the first time in eight seasons. Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey were not among the players named as Eastern Conference All-Star reserves Thursday on TNT’s NBA Tip-Off show.

The NBA head coaches have to pick two guards, three frontcourt players and two "wild card" players at any position for the reserves. The West All-Stars have five frontcourt reserves in Davis, Jackson Jr., Sengun, Wembanyama and Jalen Williams.

My league sources confirm these hesitations, revealing that Curry himself has reservations about Butler's fit in the Warriors' locker room — a sentiment shared by head coach Steve Kerr. Their worries stem from Butler's tumultuous history with previous teams:

The full rosters for this year’s NBA All-Star Game were unveiled on Thursday evening, as the reserves were added to the Eastern and Western Conference rosters. It’s hard to believe that the 2025 NBA All-Star Game is almost here, but Feb. 16’s marquee event is right around the corner.

Fox is the new name on the market after sending signals he doesn't want to commit long term to the Kings. Meanwhile, Butler remains suspended as the Heat decide his future.
