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.
The Phoenix Suns are no strangers to trade discussions with rumors about Bradley Beal and Jimmy Butler circulating ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline, but
It's due to the All-Star reserves being announced on TNT's "Inside the NBA" ahead of the doubleheader on tap tonight. Suns four-time All-Star selection and franchise cornerstone Devin Booker is looking to make the games for a fifth time while also joining teammate Kevin Durant - who was selected as a starter last week.
The Phoenix Suns (24-21) play the final of their homestand against the Minnesota Timberwolves (25-21) on Wednesday.
The Phoenix Suns are expected to use one of their first-round picks to entice a team to take recently maligned center Jusuf Nurkic.
Before the Suns game on Monday, Devin Booker had a full-circle moment with USA Basketball team director, Grant Hill.
Don’t be surprised to see the Suns rising as the second half of the regular season unfolds. They have all the pieces to be much better than what their current record indicates.
Devin Booker scored 26 points, Kevin Durant added 24 and the surging Phoenix Suns survived a late scare for a 111-109 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.

Suns Star Snubbed As NBA All-Star Reserve
The NBA All-Star reserves were announced on Thursday night, and there was a notable absentee from the list: Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker. Instead, Anthony Edwards and James Harden were selected by NBA coaches as the Western Conference guards.
Booker has now only made the All-Star Game four times in his 10 NBA seasons. He is averaging 25.5 points, 6.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 44.4% from the floor and 34.1% from 3-point range in 41 games. The Suns' lowly 24-22 record made it difficult for them to have two All-Star selections.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Karl-Anthony Towns had already been named All-Star Game starters before the reserves were revealed Thursday night.
