Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball was surprisingly not selected to the NBA All-Star Game despite his strong 2024-25 season. Ball was among the most notable All-Star snubs this year. LaMelo's brothers Lonzo and LiAngelo Ball recently shared their thoughts on the situation, via What An Experience with Lonzo Ball.

NBA All-Star starters already announced last week, the seven reserves for each conference were revealed on Thursday night. Reminder, this year's All-Star Game is not a traditional format. It's four teams of eight (24 All-Stars split evenly and the winning team of the Rising Stars game) playing basically a bracketed tournament.

Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball is the biggest surprise considering he led fan voting among players at his position in the East and he finished third among player voting. He had a much stronger voting from fans than media, though.
