The seven reserves of each team, chosen by the coaches, will be announced next Thursday, 2.

There will be a novelty in the 2023 All-Star Game: the squads will be formed by the captains half an hour before the match takes place.
It is worth mentioning that LeBron James, who is going to his 19th edition of the All-Star Game, is undefeated with the teams he formed an incredible five seasons ago. Antetokounmpo, who had the chance to defeat him as team leader in 2020 (but failed to take advantage of it), seeks to break the veteran star’s hegemony.
