2024 NBA All-Star Game reserves: Who are the snubs?
Fans have waited for the announcement of the 2024 NBA All-Star Game reserves for this season. There is a plethora of talent in the league, which makes it a challenge to assemble the teams for the prestigious event. While some have proven to be deserving of a spot, voters have different opinions on the seasons they're having.
With the announcement of the full roster for both conferences done, here are some of the biggest snubs.
Jamal Murray
After winning the championship last season, Jamal Murray became a favorite to earn a spot in the All-Star roster. Murray came back from an ACL injury and helped the Denver Nuggets win the title against the Miami Heat.
Despite averaging 21.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists, it's still not enough for him to earn a spot.
Trae Young
Trae Young is one of the league's best playmakers. Aside from that, he's also a threat from anywhere on the floor. However, as the Atlanta Hawks continue to struggle, many are disregarding his efforts this season.
Young is averaging 27.0 ppg, 2.9 rpg and 10.9 apg. But it's still not enough for an All-Star spot.
Alperen Sengun
The Houston Rockets have not had any consistency in their season. However, Alperen Sengun has stood out as their best player on an improving team. Often compared to two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, Sengun has led the Rockets with more than just his scoring.
The Turkish center is averaging 21.7 ppg, 9.2 rpg and 5.1 apg, but fans won't get to see his passes in the game.
