If Ball-Mitchell-Tatum-Giannis-Towns start for the East I’m assuming reserves will be: Garland, Brown, Young, Brunson, Mobley, Lillard and maybe Embiid?
With Maxey/Cunningham/Herro next up.
That’s assuming reserves are still 2 G, 3FC, 2 WC. – 1:40 PM

Heat guard Tyler Herro ranks ninth among East guards in the initial returns of fan balloting for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. Ninth is … surprisingly low.
Those ahead of Herro are Ball, Mitchell, Lillard, Brunson, Young, Cunningham, Maxey and Poole. – 1:02 PM
